Lesson with Lang Lang and his protege Anna Larsen (Part 1)

Anna was a scholarship winner from the Lang Lang Foundation (http://www.thelanglangfoundation.org/)

.Anna worked on the third movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto 23 in A major. Anna was a little nervous at first, and you can see her absolute focus at the end of this clip when he wanted her to stop! Lang Lang was able to help her relax, and helped her make the piano sing in a way I have never heard from her before. He was extremely helpful, insightful, and very good talking and relating to kids. His teaching style was very friendly and very intense, and his advice was very frank in a good constructive way.
