Free Improvisation for Strings

Department - STRG
Offered - Fall, Spring
Course number - ENST-141

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.
