Piano seminar with Geoffrey Burleson.

Improvisation Workshop 1: Approaches, Styles, and the Composition-Improvisation Continuum (90 minutes)
Both workshops will include elements of everything from Baroque to jazz and “free” improvisation, and explore the fluidity between the realms of pre-meditated composition and more spontaneous improvisation. No previous improvisation experience required! Workshop 1 will explore Louis Couperin unmeasured preludes, improvising on works of J.S. Bach, classical idioms, and florid romantic improvisation.

*Open to Institute participants only.
