Master classes can focus on the individual musician or the group. Topics include presentation, clarity, interaction, reducing stage-freight, improvisation, communication, technique, preparation and other issues that come up in a real live performance setting. The goal is for the student or band to overcome one or several of these issues in one class or at least learn specific techniques to improve in these areas. Since all present can learn from each other’s strengths or weaknesses one master class can be very information-packed and a positive experience for everyone.
