Ever wanted to try improvising but weren’t sure where to start? Or perhaps you already improvise and would like to pick up a few new ideas?
Join Lana Law for a fun, relaxed and practical workshop exploring the world of improvisation. Lana will share tips, ideas and approaches that can help musicians of all levels feel more confident when improvising.
The workshop is suitable for beginners as well as players with some experience who would like to develop their skills, explore new ideas or simply have their improvisation questions answered.
Bring your instrument and come ready to play, experiment and have some fun!
