Session #2: Easy Improv at the Piano
**LIVE** 10-11am PDT - Monday, July 6
Teaching students the basic skills of improvisation leads to the development of musicianship and "functional" musicians. Musical literacy is enhanced when students can not only read music fluently but also improvise and create their own compositions. A vital part of ensemble work is the ability to be versatile and adapt to any musical opportunity. Students developing a close connection to music become an important part of the musical community and enjoy music culture throughout their entire lives.Session #2: Easy Improv at the Piano
