There are many ways to approach improvisation and believe me, Julie has explored and taught them all for over four decades. She looks forward to partnering with Enion to present a compilation of approaches. Enion will help demystify integrating improvisation into your daily practice, bringing method to the mad fun of this huge subject. We’ll also address the emotional/psychological component to diving into the state of “I have no idea what I’m about to play, but I can’t wait to find out!”
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
