What is a Master Class?
A master class is different from a regular lesson. It's often a one-time event. A well-known expert teaches a few advanced students. The students usually perform or show their work. Then, the expert gives them advice and tips. This helps the students improve their skills.
Learning from the Best
Students who attend a master class are often very skilled already. They prepare a piece of music, a painting, or a performance. They present it to the master teacher. The teacher then gives them feedback. This feedback is very valuable. It helps students see new ways to improve. They learn new techniques and ideas. It's like getting a private coaching session from a superstar!
