advanced musical improv

You've been introduced to the basics of musical improv, and now you want more, more, more musical improv magic! In Advanced Musical Improv, students will build on basic musical improv skills, extending into longer form musical theater scenework. We'll explore the connection between emotion and music, learn more advanced song structures, and start working with the building blocks of Broadway-style narrative musicals. As the Bard might have said if he'd been a musical improviser, "If music be the food of happiness, play on!"
