Sylvia has spent many years studying with renowned pedagogue Alice Kanack to learn about her innovative Creative Ability Development method of classical improvisation. Sylvia leads frequent gatherings of fellow students interested in collectively exploring their musical creativity. Players of any instrument, ages 7-17, are welcome to attend at Sylvia's condo in downtown Chicago. First-timers are always welcome, and there is no need to attend every session.
Sylvia also gives one-on-one private improv sessions over Zoom for those unable to attend Improv Club in person.
