Workshop: The First Note - Foundations of Musical Improv

Workshop Description:
This workshop is designed to help you build on the improv skills you already use in your scenework, like "yes, and" and taking risks, and applying them to musical creations. We’ll focus on key elements like song structure, target rhyming, and crafting melodies on the spot—skills you can use even if you’ve never improvised musically before! By the end of the workshop, you'll be confidently creating your own songs, both solo and with others. Whether you're nervous or excited, this is your chance to take the first step into the world of musical improv and have fun discovering your creative voice.
