About Improvisation Club
Our weekly Improvisation Club will engage in guided improvisational activities aimed at improving critical thinking, expression, and musical communication within a group environment. It promotes a sense of togetherness and support amongst members, whilst developing an understanding to the intricacies of group performances.
​
Improvisation is crucial to musicians, developing important skills and techniques not usually taught in typical classroom / structured lesson plans. Improvisation is the art of spontaneous musical creation, essentially composing on the spot using musical intuition.
​
Unlike reading and understanding sheet music, which may become repetitive and leaving students feeling disengaged, improvisation is a new experience every single time a student engages with it. Improvisation can motivate students who otherwise may be disengaged in the structures music learning environment, and can re-energise engagement.
​
It provides an alternative pathway for students to learn and understand technical concepts such as scales and structures, understanding them in a live example rather than out of a book. It’s often easy to get lost within the notes, but improvisation forces you to think about the song as a whole, anticipating the development of a song through recognising note patterns and structures.
​
Ultimately, music is meant to be a form of expression, and a vessel of emotional communication. Improvisation can assist students uncover their musical voice and identity, with the activity being completely controlled and owned by the student.
