Mark Grimes: Improvise and Harmonize: Solo Singing in Musical Improv!

THE WORKSHOP

Take this deep dive into musical improv comedy with this Solo focussed workshop! This dynamic session focuses on honing your ability to perform solos in improvised musical scenes and how the ensemble can support the soloist. When the ensemble supports the soloist through harmonies and movement it can take the song to an entire new.

In this workshop we will learn how to support our fellow players with vocals and how an ensemble makes a solo even more amazing! This workshop will cover topics including song structure, harmonisation skills, movement and how you can bring this all together to create an incredible improvised musical ensemble piece.
