Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians
Description
"Why don't classical musicians improvise? Why do jazz players get to have all the fun? How do they develop such fabulous technique and aural skills?" With these words, Jeffrey Agrell opens the door to improvisation for all non-jazz musicians who thought it was beyond their ability to play extemporaneously. Gently, step-by-step, Agrell leads through a series of games, rather than exercises. The game format takes the pressure off classically trained musicians, steering them away from their fixation on mistake-free performance and introducing the basic concepts of playing with music itself instead of obsessing over a perfect rendition of a written score. "Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians" can be used by solo individuals, groups from two to sixteen or more, and in classroom settings.
