Crash Course: Musical Improv

In the organizer's words:

Ready to turn your improv scenes into show-stopping musical moments?

In this 3-hour crash course, you'll learn how to create improvised songs that are catchy, hilarious, and full of heart - no musical training required.

Buckle up and join one of Berlin's most experienced musical improvisers and a legendary pianist for a fast-paced crash course: Musical Improv.

We'll learn by doing, singing, moving, and collaborating with other improvisers and a live pianist.

It'll be exciting, loud, and a ton of fun, no matter how beautifully (or terribly) you think you can sing.

You'll learn how to:

  • Build a pop song on the fly
  • Craft poetic verses and catchy choruses
  • Turn a scene seamlessly into a full-blown musical number
  • Support fellow improvisers with backup vocals and backup dancing
  • Communicate with a live musician
  • Create a group musical montage


Sound like a lot? It is! But don't worry, we've got you covered.
