This course focuses on the development of improvisational reflexes through listening and performance, reinforced by discussions oncore recordings and the artist’s approach to developing solos. Assignments may incorporate odd meter and phrase lengths, and African and East Asian rhythmic concepts. The course will help develop the skill of listening, as well as develop a strong call and response reflex, which are keys to success in live improvisational performance.
