This workshop will teach you the key skills you need to start your journey in musical improvisation. We will focus on approaching songs with the mindset of an improviser, using the same skills you use in improvising a scene to improvise a song. You will learn how to listen to the offers in music and how to respond to them in order to inspire your work.

We will also briefly explore musical genres - how to bring these to life on stage and how to approach new genres which you may not be familiar with. By the end of the course, you will have an increased confidence in singing improvised songs, both solo and in a group, and learn how to work effectively with an impro musician.

This class will be taught by Luke Rimmelzwaan and Robert Zosars (on piano).

This workshop is suitable for students of all musical abilities - from totally new to advanced.

Time: 10:00 - 1:00
