Musical games and scenes that become songs
Lyrics from nowhere, harmonies like magic and all-singing all-dancing choruses. Musical improvisation looks a bit like a miracle. And it doesn’t require special skills, knowledge of musical theory, or a background in musical theatre. You don’t even need to be able to sing. Like any improv, you create a character, build the emotion, and work with your partner (and the musician). Great songs come out of great scenes.
Breaking down musical improv into manageable chunks, our twelve-week introduction will take you from your first ‘la-la-la’ to set games, open scenes, and songs, even a showing in front of family and friends*.
Not just for those who already love to sing, this course builds emotional expression, freedom, and confidence. Skills which can be applied in any improv class, as well as elsewhere in your life. After all, if you can improvise a whole song, what can’t you do?
Is it right for you?
