Helen Hou-Sandí has written a thoughtful piece on some valuable things software teams can learn from music masterclasses. As I learned from Helen, masterclasses are when musicians perform a piece for an established artist, and the master artist gives them feedback in front of an audience. 🎻
Helen touches on managing feedback in group settings, arriving prepared, and cross-discipline knowledge. Her points on feedback are the ones I liked the most: “Not only does feedback need to be inclusive of a group while also targeted to each individual; it needs to be clearly contextualized.”
Bonus: Relax and listen to a 45-minute Bach cello suite in a masterclass at the end of the post. 🎼
