Tuition: $149 per person
Coach: Luke Fitzpatrick


Description: Join us for this weekly Chamber Music Coaching Masterclass. Join as a preformed group, or sign up as a single player to be assigned to a group*. Groups will participate in one hour long independent rehearsal at Music Center, as well as a one hour Masterclass with Luke each week.
Independent Rehearsals will be assigned a room at Music Center either the hour before or the hour after the weekly Masterclass. If groups would like additional time, they can request additional time at Music Center if space allows, otherwise groups would have to organize rehearsals on their own time and space.
For the Masterclass, Luke will create a rotating schedule where two groups will be coached each week. All participants are required to attend every master class, regardless of if they are playing in that specific class or not. Each group will be coached by Luke multiple times throughout the semester.
*Please note that if you sign up as a single participant, there is no guarantee that you will be placed in a group. It all depends on skill levels and the instrumentation of those who are looking to be placed. Once you are placed in a group, then you would be asked to register for the class.

Who can join?This program is designed for all musicians ages 18+. Participants do not have to have experience playing in chamber ensembles, but should be comfortable playing intermediate level works (such as Mozart or Haydn).
This program is open to both single participants and pre-formed groups.
