Events for March 21, 2025

Over 6 sessions, Musical Improv Level 1 will introduce you to the world of musical improv through exercises, games, and scene work. We will learn the basics of how to improvise melody and lyrics of a song and how to apply these elements within a scene. We will start to practice creating music within song structures that will make you look like a magician on stage. You will walk away from this course with the initial training necessary for long form musical improv competency which is also the prerequisite to further your study of improvising a full length musical (a.k.a. a musical narrative or long form musical). No grad show.

Prerequisite: Musical Fun Times and permission from the instructor. Priority spots reserved for students who have most recently completed Musical Fun Times.

Musical Fun Times is a great introduction to the art of musical improv, as well as a strong foundation for basic improv comedy and stage performance. For those who are curious about musical improv, who want to give it a try without jumping into performance (…yet?), or for more experienced musical improvisers who want to go back and reinforce the foundations without all the structure and song forms, this class is accessible to all levels and is super fun and free stylin’ – it definitely lives up to its name!

This course is designed for anyone who wants to begin their musical improv journey, gaining practice and acquiring skills to sing and create group musical comedy songs and scenes in a no-pressure environment.

No experience required. No show.
