It’s the perfect introduction before you join in the fun and try your hand at musical improv through improv games!
EVENT SCHEDULE
For the first 20 minutes: we’ll kick things off with a live demonstration of a fully improvised musical. You’ll see improvised songs in action with a showcase led by a team of dedicated learners and performers just like you. From spontaneous melodies to quick-witted lyrics, you’ll see a musical story unfold before your eyes.
In the workshop: we’ll delve into the fundamentals of musical improv, learning common song structures such as verse-chorus songs or tagline songs. It’s your turn to jump in and give musical improv games a try!
