Master class advice

[carazymcmahon]

In a few weeks Jon Nakamatsu (won the van cliburn competition in the 90's) is giving master classes to anybody who wants them at the steinway store.

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions? If he shows me a different way of interpreting something but I completely disagree, what should I do? stuff like that. any advice would be great.

In a masterclass you eventually would come across such a circumstance.  Think of it as gaining an additional perspective.  Try it out at the time, but you don't have to continue doing such things if they don't work for you.  Take elements of the teaching that most apply to you, and filter out the rest. 

If you were to do everything every teacher told you, you would end up contradicting yourself. 

As one of my teachers always told her students:
You don't have to do anything I tell you, as long as you do something.
