This workshop is intended for students approximately ages 13-18 who have some experience studying and/or performing music. It is a perfect opportunity for a passionate student who has the goal of pursuing music in any capacity after high school.

Yes! This is an updated version of Wyatt’s previous summer workshop, the Young Improvisers Collective.

Where YIC focused on music theory and harmony as it relates to improvisation, this workshop emphasizes repertoire building and allows for differing levels of comfort and familiarity with improvisation. We will still utilize and explore music theory, improvisation, and ear training, but these skills will be applied directly as we build repertoire together.

Classes will be held in the Black Hole Studios space of Foothills PAC in Oneonta NY.

Classes will take place from 6:00 - 8:00pm on Mon 7/14, Thurs 7/17, Mon 7/21, and Thurs 7/24.

The final concert will be in Stamford NY, on Sunday July 27th from 3:00 - 4:00pm in Pioneer Park. The final concert is presented through the Stamford Concert Series.

The main objective for each class is to develop both existing and original repertoire to perform as a group. We will do this through improvisation, composition, and arranging exercises designed to teach the students varied methods for collaboration. Students will develop skills in music theory, ear training, arranging, orchestration, improvisation, band-leading, ensemble playing, and more!
