Online course: Musical Harold

Level: Experienced

First time offering this course!

The perfect mix of longform scenes and music. This longform musical course will have you diving into the Harold structure.

The basis of much longform improvisation, the ‘Harold’ is a 20-30 minute improvisation format composed of scenes and ‘games’ created fresh each time it is played. With its distinctive three-part structure, it gives a sense of coherence and unity to a show, but it is also flexible enough to change with the team, the night and content. Are you a musical improvser who hasn’t studied the Harold? Look into our Organic Harold course HERE

Syllabus Includes:

Musical openings and group games

Creating a musical language and world without telling a linear story

Using real-life monologues and conversations for lyrical content

Following Harold beats with thematic song choices

Participants should have experience with both Musical Improvisation and the Harold.

If we have to cancel the event due to low numbers, we will do this with 24hours notice.

This Experienced course runs every Tuesday from 7th Sept. to 12th Oct., 5.00 pm-7.00 pm UK Time zone.
