What is Musical Improv?
Musical improv is a form of improv where participants create songs and music on the spot, usually based on a suggestion or a situation. It combines the freedom of improvisation with the creativity of music, allowing players to sing, create melodies, and make up lyrics as they go.
It's all about being playful, letting go of perfection, and enjoying the process of creating something new together, all in real-time!

Baltimore Musical Improv wants to bring musical improv to anyone and everyone who is interested. Part of that mission involves hosting events where we can all just relax and play a whole bunch of musical improv games just for the fun of it.
We are a peer group of volunteers who love making fun events and sharing them with others. Our goal is to bring people together to enjoy musical improv, create new friendships, and play some silly, music-filled games.
What if I arrive late?
Someone from the group will wait outside at the entrance before (and a little after) the event starts to welcome you in. If you’re running late, you can message the group on WhatsApp (details below) and someone can let you in. Good old-fashioned knocking works too, though we might be too loud to hear it!
How do you ensure a safe and welcoming space?
Lastly, we prioritize the physical, artistic, and psychological safety of our community members, and recognize we all have a part in actively building a safe and supportive environment for every single person. We encourage you to report any feedback to Baltimore Improv Group via https://www.bigimprov.org/contact
