I just need to say that this is one of the best things I have done in my life.
I was getting into an “I’m an introvert, I don’t do things like this” mindset. Applying the wrong idea of introversion (which... read more annoys me) to myself.
After seeing my wife in her end of term show I thought what the heck, give it a go.
It’s been enormous fun. It’s like permission for adults to play. Kids naturally improvise all the time don’t they?
It has also I believe been quite healing. I have an arthritic condition that I simply forget about when involved in this. It’s helped me to recognise and believe in a part of myself that I didn’t know existed. A freer part. And I hope psychologically this will affect my condition in a positive way. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience?
It’s also helped me be freer in my art.
I love it.

I’ve been attending Maydays residentials for at least 12 years. Always excellent events, very convivial, great teaching, lots of good improv to see. I run residentials myself and I can see the care and thought that goes into every aspect... read more of the experience.

*ONLINE only* for me in California; have done literally hundreds of hours of Musical Improv training via Zoom since 2020. LOVE these teachers and this program. Welcoming, inclusive, supportive, knowledgeable -- they will connect with you ...

A professional setup with a caring community ethos. AndAlso will look after you, whether you're trying improv for the first time or you're a seasoned performer.

I can’t praise AndAlso too highly! All the teachers know their artform inside out, and share their insights with enthusiasm, warmth and humour.
I’ve done many of their classes over the years, and they’re always ridiculously fun, and beneficial in ways... read more you might not expect.

Come for the improv, stay for the incidental life lessons. Andalso Improv online musical improv classes have made me a better friend and a happier human. It's also made me realize that singing has probably always been about community sharing... read more and bonding with harmony and laughter. And Heather and Joe's supportiveness is relentless!
Linda
I really enjoyed the Show and I saw that people have developed their Improv skills creativity and confidence massively in recent months. I laughed a lot:)

I've now completed four improv courses with AndAlso over the last year or so, starting from a base of zero improv knowledge or experience. No regrets! It's masses of fun and all the tutors I've had are funny, proactive and... read more kind, and a lot of thought has gone into the structure of courses so that you build up skill and experience (and therefore confidence) over time. So much work must go into it! And it's amazing that there's an end of course showing in an actual venue at the end to share what you've learned with friends and family. Our classes have opened into proper friendships and a sense of community too, which is a wonderful bonus.
I've never had any issues or problems and I've felt able to ask questions and try stuff out and basically it's great. Come for a taster, stay for the course!

I've been taking various regular musical improv online classes with various andalso Improv teachers since 2021 and am so grateful to the person who pointed me to this brilliant, high quality offer. If you have always been attracted to musical... read more improv but are still mustering up the courage to try it out, don't wait any longer and join the international Sunday drop-in at least once. If you have already fallen in love with musical improv, you have come to the right place! I really hope that these classes will go on forever. My life is better because of them.

I have been learning improv from Heather and Jules at AndAlso since 2014. I have always loved their approach, non judgemental and also equipping you with skills and tips to improve.

Heather and Joe are the best! I took an online class with them and it was awesome. They are both incredibly talented, adaptable, encouraging and kind. The class gave me lots of great tools to use in musical improv shows.
