[00:00:10.140]So Keith Lockhart came here,
[00:00:11.440]and we did what's called a conducting masterclass.
[00:00:14.120]The piece
[00:00:15.651]that we chose was the overture from Mozart's opera,
[00:00:17.100]The Magic Flute.
[00:00:17.933]Maestro Lockhart would stop us and give us some suggestions.
[00:00:20.450]We would experiment with new ways of gesturing or ways
[00:00:23.970]of bringing the group in.
[00:00:25.350]Things to do to be more effective in our communication.
[00:00:27.910]And just kind of got us
[00:00:29.140]to experiment a little bit
[00:00:30.340]with trying new things and new ideas.
[00:00:33.270]He was very friendly.
[00:00:34.280]He was very gregarious. He was helpful.
[00:00:36.750]So it made that process very easy
[00:00:38.720]to be able to learn from him and be comfortable
[00:00:41.060]with being surrounded by everyone in the music department
[00:00:43.785]at the same time.
[00:00:45.450]Having that experience, it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing,
[00:00:48.800]you know, imagine being a young quarterback
[00:00:51.310]and getting a chance to work with Tom Brady, you know,
[00:00:53.570]or being an actor and getting to do a masterclass
[00:00:55.790]with Meryl Streep, you know, something along those lines.
[00:00:58.310]I think it's important for the Lied Center
[00:00:59.930]to bring these type of experiences to students here
[00:01:02.420]at UNL because of that fresh perspective.
[00:01:04.940]It's nice to get that new viewpoint.
[00:01:07.621]It's inspiring because it shows
[00:01:10.130]that your goals are reachable. They are possible,
[00:01:12.490]and there is a clear pathway from where you're at to be
[00:01:16.280]at the pinnacle of your profession.
