Have the most fun learning how to make songs up in the moment and create improvised scenes that turn into show stopping numbers.

This weekend intensive from Rhymes Improv will get to make your own kind of music – and sing your own songs. This course is designed to give you the skills to make up different styles of improvised songs with others and to deliver them with confidence. Sign up for a weekend of fun, happening on Sat 20th and Sun 21st May 2023.

Working with your instructors, you will explore how music can enhance the emotional content of scenes.

What you can expect:
Musical exercises to help you with singing and melody
How to come up with lyrics that have impact
Exercises to help with rhyming
Easy techniques to help with movement during musical numbers
How and when to transition from a scene into a song
A fun, encouraging environment
