Join us for a playful exploration of music-making in a supportive, no-pressure environment!
Musical improvisation in groups is a powerful way of giving you expressive agency, allowing you to connect to yourself and others deeply along the way. It's also a heck of a lot of fun! So, whether you're a complete beginner or experienced musician, this workshop is designed for anyone curious about improvising with voice and instruments. We'll create music together through guided exercises and musical games that help you discover your unique sound.
