2½ Days: Thursday 24th - Saturday 26th July

---

For the first time ever our improvisation guru Matt Forbes is inviting all strings, woodwind and brass players to come and free their minds with our improv specialists!

Forbsy has designed a comprehensive 2½ day Improvisation session. The course will open up a wide canvas of improvisation to anyone interested in extending their improv. skills. It will offer a rare chance to focus on this very important and challenging subject in all its many aspects. We will be covering reading from lead sheets, modes & scales, spontaneous variation of familiar material, instant composition with Phil Sheppard and jazz with Matt Forbes. Each day will include sessions in these areas plus preparation for a massed event. All you will need is a commitment to this very exciting area of playing and some technique at any level from Grade 3/4 upwards.

The Improvisation Course combines perfectly with our Performance, Advanced, Adult Performance & Improvers, Exam Booster and Intermediate courses (sorry cellists only!). Residential students can purchase extra nights at £30 per night if required.
