At SMA, masterclasses are part of our comprehensive approach to music education. Our teachers build a strong foundation through individual guidance, then help students grow through performances, collaboration, and opportunities to learn from distinguished musicians.
Sharon Music Academy piano student Sophia Popescu recently participated in a masterclass with Professor HaeSun Paik of New England Conservatory. Sophia is pictured here with Professor Paik and SMA Music Director Tanya Schwartzman.
SMA student, Sophia, age 15, shares her memories of becoming a music teacher for the first time—and discovering how rewarding it can be to inspire a new generation of young musicians.
