Master Classes
The Cabaret's master classes strive to provide the Indianapolis community with the highest quality musical education opportunities. Each master class taught by our national performers is unique and different. While many of the performers work with participants on their song choice and interpretation, they also discuss what it is like to make a living as a performer.
