Master Classes

Dr. Holzer works with students on musicianship and interpretive choices. She embraces the philosophy of musical wellness, and feels strongly that injury prevention should be at the heart of piano technique.

For a one-hour master class with intermediate students, no more than 4 students should be selected to perform. For addressing advanced repertoire, it is requested that arrangements be made for a two-hour master class in order to accomodate 4 or more students.
