đŸŽ”đŸŽ­ Elevate Your Musical Improv: Draw Inspiration from Your Favourite Artists! đŸŽ­đŸŽ”

Are you a musical improviser eager to take your skills to the next level and find fresh inspiration for your performances? Join our latest advanced musical improv course, where we’ll draw on the unique influences of your favourite artists and songwriters to channel our musical improv and learn about each other’s influences.

This course is ideal for those with previous experience and is designed to spark your creativity, deepen your understanding of musical styles, and make your improv truly one-of-a-kind!

About the Course:

A rare chance to let the music you love shape your improvisation. Guided by Heather Urquhart (Showstoppers, The Maydays) and Joe Samuel (The Maydays, The Concept), this course will explore the essence of the artists who inspire you. Whether you adore the heartfelt lyrics of Taylor Swift, the intricate harmonies of The Beatles, or the raw power of Queen, we’ll channel their spirit into your improvised performances.

What You’ll Learn:

đŸŽ¶ Explore Signature Styles: Analyze the distinctive elements of your favourite artists, from chord progressions and melodic phrasing to lyrical themes and performance energy, and learn how to infuse their influence into your improvisation.

🎭 Personalized Songcraft: Develop songs on the spot inspired by the musical styles and techniques of artists you admire, tailoring each performance to feel authentic and deeply personal.

đŸŽ€ Master Emotional Connection: Unlock ways to embody the emotional depth and storytelling power of your favourite songwriters, ensuring your performances resonate with audiences.

💡 Expand Your Repertoire: Challenge yourself to step into new genres, experiment with different musical moods, and push the boundaries of your improvisational style.

What Makes This Course Unique?

This isn’t just a class; it’s a collaborative journey shaped by you and your fellow performers. By exploring the music that matters most to you, we’ll create a truly personalized experience that celebrates your influences while helping you grow as an artist.

Unleash the power of your influences and take your musical improv to new heights! đŸŽ¶âœš
