Learn the skills to sing songs on the spot! Based on the soon-to-be sunset musical improv show Dropped Notes (Portland, OR), this workshop will teach you how to turn suggestions into catchy songs. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to source inspiration to create simple choruses and instant lyrics that you’ll be singing long after the workshop is done. This workshop is ideally for those with musical improv experience looking to level up their skills.

You'll learn how to:

• Create songs and stories in the moment
• Turn simple prompts into memorable choruses
• Play short-form musical game formats
