Jennifer Baker: “Making Improvisation Easy.” Most music students are being trained to decode notes on the page, but what about making music that's not on the page? Students need to know where improvisation is called for and how to do it. Improvisation can also be used in the lesson to reinfore music theory concepts such as rhythm and scales. Jennifer will present some simple improvisation formulas, and give teachers some tools to incorporate fun improvisation activities into lessons.
