In Improv Games the other night, we did improv with Mary had a little lamb. This exercise reminded me of an arranging workshop I did over the summer at the Creative Strings Workshop using the same tune. We only had 10 minutes to create the arrangement, so it's basically all improv and we really had to listen to each other. Even though it's not on flute, I am hoping you will enjoy the arrangement!

I went to our city park and did some improv as part of my exposure therapy 😄. There were people around and a couple of the guys who worked there talked with me about music and one said sounds great ma’am. Which was encouraging. I found the wind challenging to get the tone I wanted and my hair kept blowing in my face. Next time I will put my hair up. It was a bit stressful having the workers right next to me, but it was good to put myself in that situation. I would have liked to have let loose some more, but overall I am proud of myself for doing it and recovering when some of the notes didn’t come out as expected.

Hello everyone! I`m very glad I found this group!!! I have been tortured with classical piano lessons during my teen years, hated them, played the recorder in a school orchestra, which I loved, stopped playing anything for around 35 years, started playing guitar to get away from classical music and returned to wind instruments 3 years ago by picking up the flute. I usually play rock / pop / folk, but discovered Händel a couple of weeks ago, so I am playing different styles. But I am rather addicted to sheets, I`m afraid. As I sometimes play with a colleague (piano / bass / guitar) and we would like to add improvisations a bit more I was looking for a way to approach that. And I think I have found the right place! I don`t have a lot of time so I might be very quiet from time to time. But I will try for sure. In my first meeting with Vic he asked me to create the sound of a turtle and a snail. My next job was a faster animal. So here - as a first attempt to post - is my 30 sec rabbit... (is this the correct category?) By the way - I am from Germany - so please excuse my mistakes!
