Free Improvisation for Strings

Course Number
ENST-141
Description
This ensemble provides students with the opportunity to develop improvisational skills through free improvisation. Players are encouraged to create dynamic and rhythmic pieces using existing musical skills. Skills are expanded through the study of the musical elements, complex time signatures, form, and musical roles. Students learn to trust their instincts for the ebb and flow of music as they create satisfying ensemble pieces with no prior plan or discussion.
