On 3 November, we welcomed concert violinist and Head of Strings at the Glasgow Conservatoire, Professor Andrea Gajic, to school for a violin masterclass for five of our top violinists. Opening with a performance of Carmen by Sarasate, she wowed the audience with her amazing sound and technique. It was then the students’ turn. Professor Gajic was incredibly impressed by the quality of playing and level of engagement but she was also constructively critical about some aspects of each individual performance. Our violinists responded positively and there was a noticeable improvement after each critique session.
