Masterclass
At CFMTA, we value the importance of high standards. Each year, several students are chosen to perform and receive instructions from the most accomplished educators and performers in their field. This is a wonderful opportunity for students preparing for Local Auditions or other competitive events to refine their performances. Our Annual Masterclass is also open to the public. Members and students are encouraged to attend.
