| This course may be repeated for credit. |
The ensemble is open to musicians of all backgrounds, stylistic orientations, and traditions seeking to develop their improvisational abilities. All instruments are welcome. Weekly rehearsals will explore improvisation from a method-based perspective in order to develop the skills needed to create spontaneous compositional works as an ensemble. Each student will learn how to develop their musical foundational skills to be able to create unique rhythmic and sonic environments as both a soloist and an ensemble member. Traditional notations will not be used. Instead, graphic- and prose-based notations will be employed to facilitate the forging of a musical language unique to the ensemble. |
