Abstract
-
Beginning string orchestra instruction often focuses on learning concert music; therefore time for creative and collaborative projects can get minimized. However, creative instruction through lessons in basic improvisation can enhance student engagement and collaborative learning opportunities even at the earliest level of instruction. This allows students to feel connected to creating music on a more personal level. This project explores the benefits of and preconditions for including improvisation and composition lessons in a beginning orchestra classroom.
