Keith did a Master Class with four lucky UCF voice students. First, the student sang and then Keith made incredibly insightful suggestions and comments, all tailor-made for the singer. He asked the student to sing part of the aria using his advice. The impact on their singing was immediate and noticeable. Then, he would take his observation to another level, the student would sing, and another level, and sing. His work with each of the four was completely different and individualized. He also spoke about the business of singing. To paraphrase: If you want to make your living singing, i.e. to be paid money to sing, then you have to do a great job. If you don't, then you'll be fired and you won't be making money singing. So, you must WORK, WORK, WORK. This Master Class was as remarkable as his recital.
