Dive into Teaching Improvisation
- Jan 23, 2024
After hearing my presentation about teaching improvisation, a colleague suggested I consider “less cheerleading and more content.” Her wise comment helped me realize as an advocate for musical creativity, that half of my job is to encourage (okay, prod) the uninitiated to “dive in” by closing the music books now and then. The other half is to offer practical teaching tips to those who have already taken the “off page” plunge.
