101  Is the Loneliest Number

Designating classes as certain "levels" is not always the best way to differentiate them.  Contact me and let's speak about
your background.  I will recommend a class. If one of mine is not the right fit, let's collaborate to create something that works for you.

Saturday Afternoon -- Musical Improv Intensive (third Saturday of every month)
2018 Dates: Jan 20, Feb 17, Mar 17, Apr 21, May 19, Jun 16, Jul 21, Aug 18, Sep 15, Oct 20, Nov 17, Dec 15  
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
$60

Learn how to create laugh-inducing lyrics and sensational songs on the spot.
​
In this class we will work on some or all of the following skills: rhyming, creating songs using “forwards and backwards” techniques, narrative and joke-form approaches, understanding song structure, improvising in different song styles, putting lyrics to existing melodies, creating new songs from scratch, and writing impromptu parodies. We will build the skills necessary to eventually create an entire musical from an audience suggestion.

Each time we meet, the syllabus is a combination of practicing previously learned skills as well as taking on new challenges. Each month there are wonderful familiar faces as well as talented new ones. 

Students of all skill levels welcome. Singing proficiency not required.

Custom Classes
Sundays for Beginners, Kids' Workshops, You Name It

I'm happy to put together classes as the demand arises.  Toward this end, I teach beginner classes, classes for children (who are natural improvisers), and corporate workshops.  Want a class taught in your office? With a specific group of friends?   At a day and time of your choosing?  One of the basics of improv is to say, "Yes, and" — so I will say, "yes" ​and "we will make it happen."

Private Coaching
Public speaking, Work presentations, Solo shows, Monologues (performance and creation), Stand-Up, Etc.
$125/hour

There are some arenas where working one-on-one is preferable. For example, if English is your second language, you might wish to work on bettering your communication skills in a private setting. Introverts might choose to work at their own pace and without any pressure to please their classmates. But you could also be an extrovert and still benefit from private lessons. Perhaps you have a solo show and you want to brainstorm with an experienced writer and performer. Perhaps you have a task that is very specific to your profession, e.g. answering challenging questions on the spot. Whatever the reason, I am happy to work with you privately.​
