Classical for adults
Deepen your understanding & appreciation of one of the world’s most powerful art forms
Classical music stretches back 800 years and encompasses a massive repertoire of classical masterpieces that deserve attention. But with so many composers and works to choose from, it becomes tempting to simply listen to the few that we already know and to gloss over others.
If you want to develop more familiarity and authority in the field of classical music and are hungry to become acquainted with the great classical canon on a deeper level, that’s where I can step in.
With degrees in history and music, over 15 years of performance & teaching experience as a classical pianist, I spend my time combing through the masterworks to find the true treasures that deserve your attention. I then do careful score analysis to find the most defining musical details in the score so that you can experience the works from inside the creation process.
Cheers to enriching our lives with the Beauty of classical music,
Sadie
