Summary/Abstract: Musical improvisation is as much a form of art as it is a form of education with great potential for transfer. Although associated usually with jazz music, improvisation has a long and unbroken history that can be traced throughout the entire music history. The classically-trained students do not receive education in improvisation, it is not part of the classical music curriculum, the educators themselves do not have such training and are not comfortable improvising and therefore teaching it. However, students can greatly benefit from this type of training by greatly enhancing their technique and performing skills and also by developing a set of other important skills such as creativity, calculated risk-taking, flexibility of mind, capacity to notice opportunities, greater awareness of their environment, intra- and interpersonal skills, enhanced communication abilities and more. One solution that would address teachers’ lack of improvisational skills and students’ need for such educational opportunity is for educators to learn basic visual programming in order to create applications for improvisation that involve live electronics and deploy them in classroom or other educational situations.
