You'll build vocal confidence and learn to listen to each other and the accompaniment.

We’ll look at musical form and structure, rhyming, harmony singing, communicating with a Musical Director and more. All in a positive setting where you can explore, stretch out, and most importantly, have fun. Before you know it, you'll be belting out your own great improvised songs!

You’ll explore integrating music into any kind of long form show, including the Harold, Armando and Improvised Musical. You’ll focus on music improv as a natural extension of scenic work, digging deep into character, story and emotion to create rich and interesting songs. You’ll also look at how to support each other with background vocals and movement.
