NINA GRIMALDI: “Improvisation Made Accessible”
Nina Grimaldi will discuss and teach us improvisation structures that make good music right from the start with a relaxed, playful attitude and an inquisitive ear. At this session, teachers will get hands-on experience in an environment that allows freedom of expression while staying within technical comfort levels. Participants will work in small groups and will leave with specific instructions on how to initiate their students (and themselves) into the creativity and freedom of making music on the fly.
