I shall always maintain that there should be no singing in improv. Eeeek! I'm lucky to get through what I get through.

Here's what they have:

Song/Music Improvisation I
Wednesday, August 20
7:00 - 10:00 PM

Improvising songs and musical pieces is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. In this workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of rhyme- and music-based improvisation. You’ll see that improvising songs onstage is impressive looking, but not nearly as difficult as it appears.

Song/Music Improvisation II
Tuesday, August 26
7:00 - 10:00 PM

Apply the basics of rhyme- and music-based games and exercises into fully improvised musical scenes and song styles. Whether you have a passion for the Broadway musical or the smoky piano bars of the jazz era, you’ll find something fun and of great value in this class.
