UPDATE:Teaching Musical Improv 1 at The Second City Los Angeles (Sept 13-Oct 25, 2009)
Musical Improv Level 1 with Michael Pollock
New class – starts Sunday, Sept 13, 2009!
This is me, Michael, writing about my class…I haven’t been available to teach a weekly series for some time, and am especially eager to do this one. We will have a culminating performance at the conclusion of the term, so you can show off your new skills!
When you’ve completed these classes you will know how to:
- Sing along with improvised accompaniment
- Build a song in numerous ways, using “building blocks”
- Improvise songs as a soloist and with 2-3 other singers
- Create rhymes in the easiest, smartest ways
- Make up a song that is entertaining and funny
Expect to learn a lot in every session, and develop certainty by applying what you’ve learned, over and over – lots of stage time and individual coaching. You do not need to be a great singer to have success at musical improv comedy! Just be willing to give it a go, and trust me to bring out your best.
Here are the details. Call Second City to enroll before the class fills up!
