Session: As a teacher I encourage students to engage in improvisation and composition. This presentation will feature ways in which I include improvisation in my lessons and how I have used this as a basis for students to compose their own works. From using this process, students have submitted their compositions to perform as an extra list in AMEB Exams. This presentation will be a talking through of the processes and showing some of the works students have produced.
