Musical Improv

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?

5 skills you’ll learn with us during Level 4 Musical Improv:

Common song elements: verse, chorus, and bridge
Creating beautiful lyrics through repetition, imagery, and simplicity
How to rhyme without getting in your head
Scene into song: escalating the emotion until you have to sing
Character songs: singing as someone else
