Open Class for Graduate Students and Five Undergraduate Students

The Department of Music at National Mokpo University (President Song Ha-cheol) announced on the 4th that it held the first 'Master Class' by inviting world-renowned pianist Professor Aviram Reichert from the Piano Department of Seoul National University College of Music on the 2nd.

This master class, held at the Performance Hall of the Creative Hall on Mokpo University Dorim Campus, was an open class for a total of five students: graduate student Jeong Hye-bin from the master's program and undergraduates Lee Na-ra, Lee Ga-eun, Jeong Hyun-soo, and Lee Ga-eun.

In the open class, Professor Reichert guided the students to perfectly complete the pieces they brought, covering both the technical and emotional aspects of piano performance.

After the master class, student Lee Na-ra said, "This was my first personal experience with a master class, and it was great because the professor led us with passion and dedication as if teaching his own formal students." She added, "In particular, the professor's teaching method, which tries to make the audience feel the musical emotions together rather than teaching them unilaterally, was a new experience for me."

She continued, "It was a meaningful opportunity to view and perform the pieces I practiced daily from a new perspective, and it became a chance to see music with a broader vision. I definitely want to meet him again in the second semester and show an improved version of myself."

Student Lee Ga-eun said, "It was a very meaningful time to receive lessons from such an excellent professor. He played the parts I was lacking himself and led the lesson easily and enjoyably by giving examples from other instruments." She added, "Thanks to this, my understanding of the pieces improved, and I got to know better ways to express them. I hope there will be more special lectures like this in the future."

Professor Shin Ji-su of the Department of Music stated, "The Department of Music at National Mokpo University plans to continue the 'Master Class' series inviting renowned domestic and international professional performers, which have received very high satisfaction from graduate and undergraduate students."

Meanwhile, the Department of Music at National Mokpo University is scheduled to hold the 'Spring Regular Concert for Outstanding Practical Students of the Department of Music' at 6 p.m. on the 16th and 17th in the Performance Hall of the Creative Hall.
