Piano seminar with Geoffrey Burleson.

Improvisation Workshop 2: 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 2 will delve into the blues, jazz improvisation, modal improvisation, and “structured freedom.”
