Interest Session ‐ Forum D (2nd Floor) Meghan Merciers, Sam Merciers, Whitney O’Neal, & Tracy Wiggins: We CAN Make This Up: Teaching Improvisation in the Concert Ensemble Setting
Improvisation is one of the core tenants of music education standards in the United States. It is currently presented most often to students in jazz idioms and styles. Unfortunately, that tends to keep many students that are not involved in jazz from being involved in improvisation. This session will introduce concepts and approaches that will allow directors to develop improvisational skills in concert ensemble settings.
