DARYL SILBERMAN
Beginning Improvisation
Leave the music behind, it's time to have some creative fun with our instrument.
This class is for beginning — intermediate students. We will romp
quickly through the improv world — free improv, structured improv,
call and response, and maybe have a little time for some rock, blues,
and fiddle music. For Beginner and Intermediate violists.
