Musical Improv
IT’S ALL JUST JAZZ, BABY
TRY MUSICAL IMPROV!!
New to musical improv? Try an eight-week term class, or if you’re a seasoned make-em-up song-singer, check out our jams. Taught by industry professionals, these courses are more about committing to the moment than being a musician – no angelic voice required!
Musical Improv 1: Fundamentals
Musical Improv: Fundamentals is about introducing the concept of musical improv into your already established improv skillset. We’ll explore genre styles, ways of fluidly creating rhymes, lyrics and melodies to make improvised singing come out naturally. Learn how to use emotional choices within different song structures and formats – and don’t worry if you’re not an amazing singer. This is about COMMITMENT, not musicality!
Targeted at students who already have some improv experience, this course will combine music theory along with practical exercises centring around harmony and song structure. Developed and taught by Tom Cardy and Bridie Connell, if you’re looking to build your musical literacy and confidence with characters, this is the course for you!
