I’m championing the importance of public ‘class’ lessons and today’s post features Ukrainian pianist Valentina Lisitsa. Valentina enjoys a busy performing career. She established her YouTube channel in 2007 and has been hailed an internet ‘star’.

The following classes have been filmed over a period of a few years. They illustrate her approach to performing and to practising. I hope you find them interesting, and you can watch my interview with Valentina, filmed in 2012 in Cardiff, below.
