- What improvisation REALLY is… this was my favorite description of it I’ve ever heard
- An amazing distinction between playing and listening…
- A toxic part of the teaching paradigm, something I believed until now!
- Instead of fearing improvisation as a student… what if we demanded it be part of the curriculum? We discuss.
