Teaching Improvisation

Infinite Improvisation Podcast: adventures in music and creativity with Steve Treseler and Lauren Best.

In this episode, we talk about emphasizing creativity in music education for young people, from leading bands for Seattle’s JazzEd to Lauren’s approach to improvisation in small-town Ontario, Canada. We discuss program design with a focus on improvisation, how Lauren changed her approach to teaching piano, online group music lessons, and mixed instrument improvisation ensembles.
