Improvisation Workshop Series: "The Desire to be Creative" - February and March 2019

Matrix hosted a series of four improvisation workshops run by George Haslam in February - March 2019.

Workshops looked at the development of musical improvisation starting from different bases and origins; including elements of music – melody, rhythm, harmony, etc. abstract interpretation and free improvisation. Each of the four sessions focused on a specific approach to improvisation, including harmonic, modal, melodic and free.
