Andrea Keller, Jazz pianist and lecturer at Monash University, has received a grant to present concerts in Regional NSW throughout 2026. Orange Regional Conservatorium is honoured to host a concert and workshop in Orange.
Keller is excited to present a workshop during her visit, which will consist of the following:
- Improvisation tools and techniques with the option to focus specifically on HSC preparation if applicable. This can be open for students beyond just Piano students.
- Workshopping pieces included in Andrea's piano book, if students have been studying any ahead of time, so they can have the opportunity to perform any of the pieces for 4 hands together with Andrea in the concert
- An option to add a workshop for teachers on incorporating improvisation techniques and methods as a teaching tool
If the workshop involves Andrea's piano book, and students learn some piano 4-hands works in preparation, they may be able to perform in the concert with Andrea.
