Musical Improv 101 with Naomi Murden and Sam Marshall

Ever wanted to burst into song and actually know what you're doing? This is the class for you. Musical 101 is the friendly, no-pressure entry point into musical improv. You'll learn the building blocks of song structure, how to sing with confidence, and how to weave scenes into songs so the story and the music work together. A little improv experience helps, but it's absolutely not required. Just bring your voice and a willingness to be a bit silly.
