15. Improvisation: Music For Kiddos Podcast

Stephanie Leavell is an improvisational music therapist. What does an improvisational music therapists do?   The approach of an improvisational music therapists in any of these settings is really “in the moment.” We often make up songs on the spot with what the client is needing or we are reacting to what is happening in the moment. Sometimes the entire song isn't made up. Sometimes it's just a tiny portion of the song that's made up.   There are three very simple components to improvisation that I think are key to having a successful experience: Structure Take Risks Get Out of Your Comfort Zone   Sounds confusing? We promise is very, very simple and Stephanie discusses improvisation in the clinical setting in this episode of the Music For Kiddos Podcast.   Subscribe to our email newsletter here: www.musicforkiddos.com/newsletter   Today’s resource: 🎵Download the lyrics of the song "Keeping A Beat" here: www.musicforkiddos.com/podcast15      We have partnered with West Music.
