Are you an emerging or experienced musician? Do you struggle with breaking through barriers to your playing ? Do you want to unlock a creative block? Are you looking for inspiring motivation in your practice room?
Join celebrated violinist, Victoria Yeh, at Collingwood's Simcoe Street Theatre for a 2-hour open community Masterclass. Bring your instrument and play along in this group lesson where we'll learn various strategies to unlock our creativity through improv.
All instruments, all ages welcome. No previous improvisation experience necessary! Presented by Collingwood's LIVE & ORIGINAL series
Improv is more than playing off the page...
it's a new relationship between you and your instrument that will serve you in ANY genre
Why improv? When will I ever need this?" Research has shown that different parts of our brain activate when musicians play on the page vs. when we improvise. Tapping into this other part of your mind can help unlock new pathways to success, and importantly can help you turn off your analytical brain so you can get overcome old habits that are holding you back.
No previous improv experience necessary.
Everyone is welcome, though you will get the most out of this class if you can play your instrument independently. Auditors also welcome to simply sit and observe.
