Distinguished Master Class Series

Performing in and attending a master class is an extremely important experience for young students. Firstly, it is very helpful for groups to perform a new work in front of a smaller audience before the Final Concert. Secondly, a seasoned professor can provide immediate feedback of a performance during a master class, and provide insights into how the students are progressing with their coaching sessions and rehearsals.

Watching a master class is extremely important for students. Here are just a few important benefits students have from watching a master class:

• Understand the impact greater dynamics and energy has on the audience
  
• Gain a broader auditory perspective of music
  
• Learn about the differences in styles (Classical, Romantic, Contemporary, etc)
  
• Witness and understand how to better communicate between group members (balance, cue-ing, etc)
  
• Discover new repertoire to perform
  
• Be inspired by the passion and enthusiasm of the professional teacher & the advanced players
