Musical Improv Accompaniment Workshop

Join us at Arcade Academy for a two-hour crash course in accompanying musical improv! Lead by Arcade Academy Instructor Scott Hughes, participants will review the fundamentals of accompanying performers as they sing short form musical improv songs, as well as long form improvised scene-into-song structures. Participants will also learn about our musical improv program at Arcade Academy, how to get involved with the community, and how to get paid opportunities accompanying practices, classes, and shows. No previous experience is required! This workshop is geared toward musicians of chordal instruments (piano, guitar, accordion, etc) but participants are encouraged to bring whatever instruments they wish. If you require a power source for your instrument, please contact Arcade Academy at [email protected].

 

This workshop is free but space is limited so register today! If you regsiter and then find you are unable to attend, please contact Arcade Academy.

About the Teaching Artist
Scott Hughes is an improviser, educator, and pianist who’s been making things up since he was tall enough to reach the keys. Now he’s much bigger, and he’s had the chance to study, teach, and play with some of the best performers all over, from University of the Arts, Temple University, ComedySportz, Philly Improv Theater, The Magnet, and iO. When he’s not on stage with Choir Consequences, you’ll find him improvising with comparable audacity in the kitchen, in business meetings, and and along the unfolding trajectory of his own life.
