I was honoured to have participated in the inaugural Imogen Cooper Music Trust week. I have attended several different master-class courses but this one was particularly inspiring as I feel a great affinity with Imogen’s fundamental ideas about music. I always learn a huge amount in our lessons about how to examine and interpret the composer's markings, how to communicate the structure of the piece and how to listen to myself. It was also a great privilege to be in such magical and peaceful surroundings, which focus the mind and allow the subconscious to more fully process information away from the piano. I think this is a wonderful scheme that Imogen has created and will provide a great opportunity to young pianists.’
