Credits: (2)
Experimental Course, Contact Department for More Information

Students will be presented with basic improvisation concepts in the course, including improvising rhythmically, diatonically, over functional harmony, using extra-musical inspiration, and creating free and collaborative improvisations. Through demonstration and practice, students will learn how all of these methods in totality or combination can work to create successful improvisations. Students will be judged based on their ability to demonstrate mastery over a particular concept through their own performance.
