What is a masterclass?
A masterclass is an open lesson, during which a student performs a solo work and is coached by a master teacher. Attending audience (thatโ€™s you) listen and learn as observers. It is a fun and informative opportunity to see a top-flight musician and music educator share insights and techniques and to watch a student learn and grow before your eyes.
