Improv Project – Day 5

July 30, 2014

After a unplanned couple days off because I went to New Jersey and spent some time on the beach, I'm back on track.  Today, I did the two notes a day again, but with a different interval, and I explored some different ideas.  I really like using these couple exercises (what note is next and 2-note improvs) … Continue reading Improv Project – Day 5

Adding this second parameter made it much more complicated than I had anticipated, and I had a much harder time working with both … Continue reading Improv Project – Day 2
