About this exposition

Working on improvisation or any similar technique was one of the scariest things I could think of before doing this research. Because of this reason, I found this the best moment to go against this boundary and take the opportunity to help myself and the people that might see themselves in the same situation. Even though during our musical education many of us take improvisation lessons at some point, the benefits of this experience can vary because of many factors, such as, performer’s background, ability to change certain things on the spot or active listening skills. Through this research I experimented with the elements that need to be developed in order to help this process. The Methodology used for this research is based on existing studies about improvisation, literature about this topic and a series of experiments. The theoretical framework provides a brief overview of the history of improvisation as well as an explanation of its basic principles and benefits. The practical framework collects data about the benefits via experiments with musicians of various levels, paying special attention to the progress during the process and offering possible solutions. The experiments are documented through videos, audios and conversations with the musicians, and presented as a report with conclusions. As a result of this research I found a way to feel more “comfortable in uncertainty”. All the tools I acquired helped me to change my mindset towards this practice, mainly by using free improvisation techniques.
