Simply Improvise is a jazz education project that rethinks how improvisation is taught by blending the spontaneity of improv theater with the rigor of jazz. Through a book, workshops, and community presentations, it introduces musicians to creative tools used by actors and comedians at institutions like Second City and UCB. The curriculum prioritizes intuitive interaction, group awareness, and playful risk-taking over rote scale practice. Designed for college-level students and educators, it fosters ensemble-driven learning that unlocks individual musical voices. Ultimately, Simply Improvise promotes a joyful, inclusive approach to improvisation rooted in creativity, collaboration, and trust.
