Describing this special day, Emily in Year 12 said, “I really enjoyed learning about the history of the Steinway company and about how the pianos are made, including fine details such as the rate of growth of the timber.  “But the highlight of the day was taking part in the masterclass led by Charles Owen, a Steinway artist.  “Lucy and I both performed, and were then given lots of interesting advice about how to make our pieces more musical and how to achieve different tones on the piano. Overall it was a great experience to get feedback from a concert pianist and to have the chance to play on so many exquisite pianos.”     Date Posted: 25 February, 2019 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/news-article/pianists-visit-steinway-in-london) ## Articles for: ![Redland Hall showcases first-class music | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Music%20edited%20-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Music%20edited%20-450_th.jpg) **Redland Hall showcases first-class music | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 10 October, 2019 READ MORE ![ARSM Diploma success for Redmaids' High students | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ARSM%20students%20-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=ARSM%20students%20-450_th.jpg) **ARSM Diploma success for Redmaids' High students | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 4 May, 2021 READ MORE ![World-class Nicola Benedetti performs at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image1-450_th-Jul-08-2021-03-20-22-60-PM.jpg?width=770&name=image1-450_th-Jul-08-2021-03-20-22-60-PM.jpg) **World-class Nicola Benedetti performs at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 15 October, 2018 READ MORE ![Redmaids' High Musician Spoilt for Choice | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Lucy%20K-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Lucy%20K-450_th.jpg) **Redmaids' High Musician Spoilt for Choice | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 13 January, 2021 READ MORE ![World-class drama at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image1-450_th-Jul-08-2021-03-20-32-91-PM.jpg?width=770&name=image1-450_th-Jul-08-2021-03-20-32-91-PM.jpg) **World-class drama at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 9 October, 2018 READ MORE ![Redmaids’ High girls make history!
