For intermediate and advanced vocal improvisers around the world. Build and refine your personal practice, connect online and exchange music and ideas.
There will be exercises and games as well as individual and group homework to keep momentum in between the encounters. Each session invites playful self-expression as well as focused learning. If you miss joining a session, you can always catch up through the recording.
We’ll cover different aspects of Collaborative Vocal Improvisation:
-Developing rhythmic vocabulary and precision. Learning to sing rhythmically and respond to rhythmic musical propositions.
-Understanding musical contexts for melody (harmony-mode) and becoming freer as a melody creator.
-Deepening the use of invented language and words- musical articulation, variety, purpose, texture, meaning.
-Understanding musical form: shapes and structures, the compositional aspect of improv.
-Developing your unique, confident voice as a soloist. Vocal freedom, flexibility, authenticity, exploring many possibilities.
You can attend a one- off session or book a block of 4 or 6 sessions, combining with the sessions on either day.
