VOXplorations:Workshop on Spontaneous Music Creation & Vocal Improvisation

Grammy award nominee composer Clarice Assad leads a workshop on music creation, vocal improvisation and mouth & body percussion. Assad, also an accomplished arranger, pianist and singer, provides accessible and challenging entry into skills of musical play and improvisation for all levels and styles of musical cultivation.

Mixing permission and demand, open sourcing with structured forming, the class builds tolerance for the unknown, the flop, the crystalizing moment, the intensity of presence and the diversity of ability.

Modeling what she invites at the highest level, her musicianship and trust in beginners mind set loose a mighty wind, allowing the seven notes and charging the twelve pulses into life.
