This class is meant for intermediate to advanced improvisers who are beginners when it comes to musical improv. We'll cover basic song structures, play with group numbers and duets, learn how to find the songs within scenes, and focus on expressing relationships, emotions, and themes through song. This is a great opportunity to learn something we don't currently teach in our regular classes!
