Chapter Summary: Improvisation is used in all aspects of our daily lives. Free improvisation allows us the freedom to never be wrong. It is a way to explore the uncharted waters. This uninhibated approach, often gives us new insight into our own performances, a freshness. It can also be a key exercise in letting go of your inner judges. Gibberish can be used in the way, to release a level creativity innate in all of us.
Key Terms: improvisation, drum talk
Key Concepts: Drums allow us to communicate in a way that wouldn't necessarily be appropriate in speech. We can pound out our frustrations or joys on them.
Making Connections: I really enjoyed the improvisation activity we did in class. I definitely had an apprehensive start, but I found that it allowed a softness and curiosity to enter my mind, enough so that my judges melted away. I think that doing this with students as a voice teacher might help them get their minds off of singing, and release unwanted tension.
