MASTER CLASSES
|
|
A Masterclass is a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline—usually music. The difference between a normal class and a master class is typically the setup. In a master class, all the students (and often spectators) watch and listen as the master takes one student at a time. The student (typically intermediate or advanced, depending on the status of the master) usually performs a piece which they have prepared, and the master will give them advice on how to play or perform it, often including anecdotes about the composer, demonstrations of how to play certain passages, and admonitions of common technical errors. The student is then usually expected to play or perform the piece again, in light of the master's comments, and the student may be asked to perform a passage repeatedly to attain perfection.
