WHILE WE ARE ALL STILL SOCIAL
DISTANCING, IT IS A GREAT TIME
TO LEARN A NEW SKILL OR EDUCATE
YOURSELF ON A NEW TOPIC.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
CARLOS IS LIVE FROM CARMEL THIS
MORNING WITH HOW IT'S DONE ALL
ONLINE WITH MUSIC.
IT'S A GREAT IDEA, CARLOS.
>> Reporter: IT IS A GREAT

TURNED INTO THE MASTER CLASS
MOMENT SERIESMENT WE DROP A NEW
EPISODE EVERY WEEK.
>> WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW IS
MOMENTS OF HOPE AND JOY AND THE
REMINDER THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
MOVING FORWARD PAST THE
SITUATION WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
THIS SERIES REALLY IS GOING TO
OFFER THAT TO PEOPLE, WHETHER
THAT'S THE YOUNG SINGER WHO IS
STILL DREAMING OF PURSUING A
PERFORMING CAREER AND CONTINUING
EDUCATION AND IN THIS NEW AGE OF
SOCIAL DISTANCING.
THAT'S POSSIBLE WITH THIS

ENTHUSIASM AND PERFORMANCE AND
MUSIC IN YOUR DAY, TUNE IN.
THESE ARE YOUNG SINGERS WHO HAVE
WONDERFUL VOICES, WONDERFUL
TALENT, AND BRIGHT FUTURES AHEAD
OF THEM.
>> Reporter: PERFORMERS HATE
TO SEE THEMSELVES ON STAGE
SOMETIMES SO THIS IS NERVE
RACKING FOR THE PERFORMERS TO
PESM AND TALK
PESM AND -ALK
PESM AND --LK
PESM AND -- PERFORM AND TALK ABO
PESM AND -- PERFORM AND TALK ABT
THE PERFORMANCE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WE THROW THEM ON STAGE AT THE
MOST VULNERABLE MOMENT AND TORN
APART BY A NICE WAY BY SUPERSTAR
MENTORS, AND YOU SEE FROM THE
BOTTOM UP A STUDENT BUILD A
PERFORMANCE TO A BROADWAY LEVEL
OR PALLADIUM STAGE PERFORMANCE,
AND THAT'S A MAGICAL MOMENT TO
SEE.
>> Reporter: HOW MUCH MORE
SPECIAL IS THE SERIES IT'S
ENCOMPASSED WITH HOOSIER ROOTS?
>> THE STUDENTS ARE GETTING A
CHANCE AT 14 AND 15 TO WORK WITH
WORLD CLASS ARTISTS RIGHT HERE
IN CARMEL, INDIANA THAT'S
SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVER
GET TO EXPERIENCE.
>> THEY ARE THE PERFORMERS OF
TODAY AND TOMORROW THAT WE'RE
GETTING TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT
WHERE IT ALL STARTED, WHICH WAS
RIGHT HERE IN CARMEL, INDIANA.
>> YOU CAN TAKE A COURSE ONLINE,
BUT A PERFORMANCE BASED CLASS
NEEDS TO HAVE THAT
HUMAN-TO-HUMAN INTERACTION.
>> THE SPECIAL MOMENTS ARE THOSE
MOMENTS IN A REHEARSAL ROOM WHEN
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING SIX HOURS A
DAY, AND THEN THERE'S A
BREAKTHROUGH, AND THIS
MASTERCLASS SERIES, ALTHOUGH IT
IS IN THE VIRTUAL SPACE, WILL
SHOW THAT.
IT IS VERY SPECIAL.
I THINK PEOPLE WILL FIND IT
INSPIRING.
I THINK PEOPLE WILL LEARN FROM
IT.
MORE THAN ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, AT
THE HEART OF THE MISSION,
CELEBRATE MUSIC, AND THIS IS
EXACTLY WHAT THIS SERIES DOES.
>> Reporter: THIS MASTERCLASS
MOMENT SERIES IS TRULY A GREAT
IDEA AT WTHR.COM FOR THE LINKS
WHERE TO WATCH WITH YOUR KIDS OR
BY YOURSELF TONIGHT AT 7:30,
AND, JULIA, I'M GOING TO TALK TO
BEN FOR A SECOND AND PUT IT IN
SPORTS TERMS.
THE FEEBLE MINDS OF SPORTS
PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THIS.
YOU KNOW, THE LAST DANCE THE
CHICAGO BULLS SERIES ON ESPN,
IMAGINE THAT WITH MUSIC, THE
BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK HOW THE
HOT DOGS ARE TRULY MADE IN THIS
SITUATION, BEN, DO YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING TO
YOU HERE?
>> I DO.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING IT DOWN A
NOTCH FOR ME BECAUSE THAT HELPS
MAKE MORE SENSE OF THIS.

WHOLE THING.

TERMS.
THEY ARE SO CLASSY, EDUCATED,
