IMPROVISATION FOR ALL AT SETTLEMENT MUSIC SCHOOL – WILLOW GROVE, PA

Wanted: Music lovers. Music teachers. Performers. Arts therapists. Wellness practitioners.

Whether you are a professional, a student or an amateur, “Improvisation for All” will expand your musical vocabulary. This workshop, running November 16th & 17th, 2024 at Settlement Music School in Willow Grove, PA, is sponsored by Music for People (MfP), a leader in inclusive, community music-making.

People of all ages and abilities are invited to attend and register for one or both days:

• Saturday’s workshop on Day 1 examines bold, new approaches to singing, drumming, dancing and instrumental playing.
• Sunday’s workshop on Day 2 has:
  • a group focusing on leading social music improvisation which explores tools and techniques for educators, performers and therapists
  • a group creating improvisational music in ensembles.

No instrument? No problem. And you don’t have to know how to improvise. All you need is your voice—and the desire to express yourself. We’ll do the rest.

David Rudge and Ron Kravitz will lead you in a weekend of creative exploration, musical mindfulness, personal renewal and community building that encompasses a range of traditions and styles—from folk, blues and jazz to classical and world music.

Admission is $198 for the weekend or $99 for one day, on or before Sunday, November 3rd, 2024. Starting Monday, November 4th, it’s $150 for a single day or $300 for the weekend.

Educator Discount: For this workshop, music teachers and college students can attend for $75/day or $150 for the weekend.
