Presented by the Singapore International Music Competition (SIMC) in collaboration with the Music Teachers' Association of NSW

Take your artistry to the next level with an extraordinary opportunity for young pianists. Ahead of the highly anticipated SIMC Australia Live Rounds in Sydney this October, we are thrilled to host an exclusive Live Piano Masterclass series.

This event offers selected students a rare opportunity to receive one-to-one coaching and artistic guidance from distinguished international jury members from the SIMC panel. Gain invaluable insights into performance nuance, technical mastery, and artistic projection from world-class educators right before they head to the adjudication desk.

What to Expect

• Elite One-to-One Coaching: Active participants will receive direct, personalised feedback on their prepared repertoire from an international master teacher.
• A Rare Behind-the-Scenes Look: For audience members and teachers, observing a masterclass is one of the most powerful ways to learn. Watch how world-class minds diagnose technical hurdles and unlock a student’s artistic voice in real time.
• Competition Fine-Tuning: The perfect staging ground for students to polish their performance mindset, memory security, and stage presence just days before the official live rounds.
