Remember the feeling of uplift from a great performance? Have you wondered how to practice – not only your instrument but your LIFE – in order to channel that special feeling into your music and to your listeners?

Creativity and inspiration need nurturing, and the mindset that understands a challenge is rarely the mindset with the solution. For us musicians, improvisation is a way we access “the zone” where creativity, artistry and innovation live.

Through improvisation we can also experience mastery - no matter what our technical level may be.

The Improv Intensive begins with "free" improvisation, revealing the ebb and flow for music that musicians access instinctively. From there our play and focus will include pentatonics, rhythmic subdivision and polyrhythm, innovative accompanying, how to craft an effective solo, and much more.

The goal for the Intensive is not to master specific areas, but to develop a creative personal practice that leads to a unique goal: revealing YOUR distinctive musical voice.

Join the scores of previous participants who have infused their playing and teaching with renewed creativity and musical innovation.

Enrollment is limited, please register early to reserve your space!

This is a workshop for players with a background in classical music interested in exploring personal creativity through improvisation. (If you have questions about whether your instrument, background or proficiency level will be a good fit, please contact us.)
