MUSC 3150 Improvisation
This course covers the basic concepts of improvisation as demonstrated by renowned jazz musicians and other commercial artists. The building blocks of improvisation, e.g. modes, linear/vertical aspects of melody, and various rhythmic patterns will be analyzed and then applied by the students as they learn to integrate these skills into their own improvisation technique. Students will experiment with jazz licks and cliché based on what they have learned in the class.
