About
The best musical improvisers aren't always the best singers, nor do they always craft the cleverest lyrics or the best rhymes. Instead, they have the right balance of heart, conviction and simplicity and have a real love for great characters and stories. In this abridged version of her popular 3 hour master class, Sarah will walk participants through the basics of becoming a musical improviser, including how to make up melodies and lyrics on the spot.
This course is fast-paced and highly interactive. Whether you're new to musical improv or a veteran, you'll leave with the confidence to "make your own kind of music". Basic knowledge of music is also a bonus, but not required. Come ready to dive right in and sing!
