If you've never attended a Master Class before, you will want to know how it differs from a regular class.

The difference between a normal class and a master class is the setup. In a master class, all the students (and observers) 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 single piece which they have prepared, and the master will give them advice and coaching.

Students should come prepared with a memorized song to sing. Bring sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. No CD's or tapes will be permitted.

Observers are welcome to register, no participation required.
