Music in the Air! Improv Singing

Course Code: ARTS2734

Take a deep dive into improvisational singing and experience the thrill of creating spontaneous music. Explore different ways to create vocal music individually and as a group, based mainly on Vocal River exercises created by Rhiannon, as well as Circle Singing by Bobby McFerrin. You will work on inventing melody as well as adding harmony and syncopated parts. The day will involve musical creativity, deep listening, collaboration, blending voices, stretching your comfort zones, and supporting one another.
The main requirement is being able to match pitch at least relatively well, and that you are comfortable sharing your voice in a group (since there will be times when your voice will be heard alone). If this is pushing your comfort zone, but you want to work on it, that's great too. Feel free to contact the instructor if you're not sure this is a fit for you.
