MCM College hosted an “Audience with Dr. Oscar Macchioni”
 
Moon Chun Memorial College hosted an “Audience with Dr. Oscar Macchioni” for a capacity audience of faculty, students and guests from Macao and Hong Kong in MCM College Hall Tuesday 30 April, 2019.
Dr. Macchioni, Professor of Piano and Assistant Chair at the University of Texas at El Paso and Steinway Artist, presented a lecture about practising techniques, fingering, tone production and control. He gave out helpful and practical tips with a lot of examples, and encouraged all to be creative in fingerings and use different parts of the body to create the sound and effect best suited for the music. The advice is vividly shown during the coaching Dr. Macchioni gave to two of the College’s students Fish Wong and Basara Zhang, playing Humoresque by Jean Absil and Liuyang River by Wang Jianzhong.
The advice given by Dr. Macchioni can be applied to all instrumental and non-instrumental players. Faculty, students and guests have all enjoyed and benefit from this experience. |
