Improv Music Classwith Julie Egger Six-Session Class held in San Rafael Class TBA Cost is $150 for 6 sessions or $30/drop-in class Learn to get off the printed page and unleash your inner musician. Many roots music styles use improv to embellish familiar melodies – from soloing in bluegrass to the high-flying stylings of Gypsy Jazz. Useful for any style of music, this class is a great intro for beginners or advanced players who want to improve their musicality and listening skills. Here's what Julie says about the class: Learn how to play music with other people by learning how to listen. When you improvise you create your own music from within. Don’ t worry if you are playing the right notes or if you’re are technically proficient on your instrument. Anyone can learn to improvise, it doesn’t matter what level they are at on their instrument. We don’t read any music and we don’t learn any specific melodies, we create music of our own with others by listening to the musical conversation and responding. It is a great skill to use when playing any other type of music and you will find yourselves more proficient when playing with other people. |
