Children make up songs effortlessly. Why do adults panic and freeze in the face of this playful, natural human expression? This intensive will teach relaxation, listening, introduce several song structures and explore different types of songs that express a range of feelings, emotions and wants. Songs are monologues (or poems) with a melody. Coaching will be given to help you act your songs as well as sing your songs. This intensive is a supportive place to dive into the great joy of making up songs together. This class is open to beginners as well as experienced performers looking to add music-making to their skill set.
Brian Lohmann has been improvising songs with Joshua Raoul Brody since the late 80s when they first toured “Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour,” in London and Northern Europe; they continue to perform “Johnny Lonely” around the Bay Area. Both instructors are professional composers with songs placed in feature films, and have each created their own musical improv formats.
