During a recent masterclass visit, celebrated pianists and sisters from the acclaimed Kanneh-Mason family, Jeneba Kanneh-Mason and Isata Kanneh-Mason , shared what studying at a conservatoire was like.

From performance opportunities, chamber music to one-to-one teaching, space to practice and a community of fellow musicians, they reflect on the experiences that made their time as students so valuable and continue to shape their careers today🌟
