MUSICAL IMPROV 201:
This course builds on the song improvisation skills learned in the previous course. Students must have taken Musical Improv 101 before registering in Musical Improv 201. This course will cover new song genres and structures, including duets and solo songs. It will also involve movement, harmonizing, and scene work leading into song.
​
Musical Improv 201 focuses on singing only. Instruments will not be taught in this class.
​
This class finishes in a final showcase at the Grindstone Theatre. The showcase will consist of the students making up some songs on the spot based on the theme of an audience suggestion.
DATES
This class will return in Spring 2026!

MUSICAL IMPROV 202:
Level up your understanding of genre, form, and choreography skills. Main focus is on working music into long form improv.
The purpose of this class is to get you to be able to do an hour-long improvised musical.
How do you craft a song to introduce a character? How do you interpret the music to decide what happens next in the scene? How do you keep a story going for a whole hour? Take Musical Improv 202, which is different from 201 (we promise). The purpose of this class is to marry the short-form musical improv you’ve already done with the format of long-form improv.
At the end of this class, students will perform in one of two hour-long musical improv showcases.
DATES
This class will return in Fall 2026!
