How can ISIM help classical musicians who have never improvised but would like to learn?
Stylistically-open methods can be highly valuable for classical musicians because they tend to be process-oriented, particularly at the outset. This allows beginning improvisers to tap into familiar stylistic terrain rather than having to deal with new style constraints. Once musicians gain confidence and comfort in stylistically open formats, they have an internal basis that enables them to plunge into whatever styles they choose.
