master class
Virtuoso's teaching session
A master class is an advanced lesson given by an expert to students who are already skilled, with an audience often watching.
The master demonstrates technique, critiques performance, and shares insider knowledge.
The term extends beyond music and arts to any authoritative demonstration of skill: Her cross-examination was a master class in courtroom strategy.
