Advanced piano students Lucia H, Tim F and Freya S were put through their paces in a masterclass with internationally acclaimed pianist Vitaly Pisarenko who visited Taunton School on Sunday 11th May following his amazing concert in town the evening before.

After winning some of the top international awards, including first prize in the Franz Liszt Piano Competition, Mr. Pisarenko has gained worldwide recognition as a concert pianist and he is a professor at The Royal College of Music.

Lucia, Tim and Freya each performed superbly in the masterclass and were able to taking their playing to even higher levels under the expert guidance of Mr. Pisarenko. Well done to all three students!
