Like masterclasses in college and conservatory settings, the masterclasses at Key to Change combine short, intimate performances with hands-on instruction. Students have the chance to watch and listen up close as violinists and violists from various universities and symphony orchestras play for them. They then work alongside these visiting teachers to hone their sound and technique. By connecting with a variety of professionals with diverse backgrounds, styles, and personalities, students not only improve their playing—they also find inspiration for the future.

Masterclasses are for students taking private lessons and students in the Young Artists Academy.
