Interlude Retreat on Improvisation featuring Ken Medema

Improvisation is presumed by many musicians to be mysterious and just too difficult, leaving you wondering how, and where, to make a start. Yet, the concept can be very simple - and that’s where we are going to start on this workshop.
Joining with other like-minded musicians, singer/songwriter, pianist, storyteller and performer Ken Medema will present a FREE workshop wherein participants will explore a range of approaches to improvisation across the musical spectrum. This workshop, designed for musicians of any level, will boost your confidence and improve your existing skills as you unlock the door to a whole new world of creativity.
Medema travels the world, bringing storytelling and improvisation to churches, conferences, and colleges for groups ranging from 50 to 50,000 people. His background in music therapy informs his work as he listens and responds to events, speeches, and stories. Although Medema happens to be a pianist, don’t let that put you off; this course is open to all instruments and voice! It will benefit anyone who has an interest in improvising, whether a first time or an intermediate improviser.
This workshop is presented jointly between First Presbyterian Church Valparaiso, its community partners, and Interlude Retreats Corporation, a 501(c)3 established by Medema and like-minded musicians in 2013 dedicated to offering small retreats where church musicians and other ministers could rest, be renewed and re-imagine their work. It has expanded to work in small churches and conferences and international missions. The goal is to offer renewed vision and constructive action in an ever changing world.
Certificates of Participation can be made available upon request for those wishing to document participation for professional certification.
