Free Workshop: Improv Song Accompaniment for Musicians with Highwire Improv

​Learn how to play with and support improvised songs. We’ll focus on giving singers strong backing with chords, rhythm and structure, then explore underscoring scenes and creating mood. Open to musicians of any level interested in making up songs with improvisers.

​What is Musical Improv? Musical improv is like a game where you and your friends make up songs right on the spot. You don’t need any prepared lyrics or music; instead, you create them as you go. It’s a mix of acting and singing, where everyone collaborates to create fun and surprising songs that fit the moment. It might sound tricky, but with the right mindset, simple guidelines and a bit of practice, it’s easier than it looks. Think of it like creating a first draft—using patterns like adding a chorus and taking turns helps you shape your spontaneous songs. This event is free!
