Masterclasses
We are excited to announce that some of Houston’s finest professional musicians have been invited to work with our students here at Kempner. These accomplished experts bring years of experience and insight, and they will be providing our students with invaluable guidance as they continue to grow as musicians.
The focus of these sessions will be on helping students get a strong start on their All-State music. In addition, these professionals will work with students to enhance their sound quality and refine their technique. They will also be focusing on All-State etude #1.
This is a unique opportunity for our students to learn directly from top-level performers, and we’re confident it will be a powerful step forward in their musical journey.
