Cello Master Class

I viewed the video clip of the cello master class that was held on On 10 May 2001, between University of Oklahoma School of Music and Manhattan School of Music (the location was at Columbia University). Cello student Erin Dunn in Oklahoma participated in a master class with David Geber, Chairman of Strings at Manhattan School of Music using Internet2.

The class was very well conducted in terms of technology, and the student seemed to gain much inspiration and understanding out of this virtual lesson. One drawback is of course, not being able to touch one another. Many times a teacher needs to demonstrate very specifically how to use his or her body, requiring physical interaction with a student. However, Internet2 music education allows students in the remotest location from a teacher to interact and share musical learning together.
