This course will be held in Music Building room 229.
Various methods of improvisation are discussed and attempted. Students develop techniques in the art of improvisation. Class sessions are a combination of listening to recorded improvisations, trying various ways of structuring improvisations, and listening/commenting on other students' improvisational attempts. Improvisations are not "practiced", but different methods are used and explored without completing "finished" products. All members of the class are expected to participate in performing improvisations. During the last class period, a public concert for friends and acquaintances will occur.
