iRev CdC: Musical Improv with Allen Simpson
Instructor Bio:
Allen Simpson's Musical Improv Workshop makes improv singing fun and exciting. It doesn't matter whether you're a beginner or an experienced singer, Allen's workshop has something for everyone. Taught in an encouraging and supportive atmosphere, Allen provides participants with many tools for improvising songs, including song structure, rhyming techniques, how to end a song, different music styles and more. One of the best aspects of the workshop is the confidence that players will take with them not only into their musical improv but also into all areas of their performing.

He's written songs for writer/director David Zucker (Airplane!, Police Squad!) and has has created music for the The Sarah Silverman Program, VH-1's Acceptable TV and the DVD for Jack Black's Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny.
