"Michael's masterclasses center around being a great performer as well as a great instrumentalist. Other weight is placed on creative use of improvisation (even in notated music when appropriate), extended techniques, finding the "funk" in rhythmic music, and discovering an independent voice as a musician. Lots of dogma."
