Join us for our first-ever improv summer camp, hosted by us - The OK Factor! We'll spend five days learning how to improvise on our instruments, starting from the basics and adding on incrementally for more intentional soloing, as well as accompanying each other.
This is a great way to spend some time with your instrument as summer comes to an end and school, lessons, and/or orchestra start back up for the fall.
We can't wait to make music with you!

on the heels of eight school residencies through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, we have a tried and true approach to improvisation that breaks down the art of making something up on the spot into steps that any player can follow, no matter the level of experience.
CAMP DETAILS

Who is this for?
Any violin, viola, cello, or bass player! When we say any, we mean it.
Beginner? Played for 10 years? Classically trained? Never had a lesson in your life? Super comfortable making stuff up on the spot? Never improvised in your life and don't know if you want to?
This is for you.
Whether you're a student or an adult player, we welcome anyone looking to spend some time with their instrument in a unique way!

what we'll do
Five days of learning to improvise - following our step-by-step approach to taking a solo, discussing potential anxiety and other barriers, listening to solos from multiple genres and reflecting on what we hear, games to get us thinking outside the box, and comping techniques to help you jam in any capacity!
