Today, I discovered an organization dedicated to training musicians and music facilitators in the art of improvization. It's called Music for People . Unfortunately for me, they are on the east coast, but I am very interested in their mission and hope to be able to attend one of their training course. They have a four year certification program for facilitators, but they also offer weekend workshop in improvization for both musicians and non-musicians. Check it out.

I just found out that the 2004 Big Sur Experimental Music Festival is happening on May 29-30, 2004 in Big Sur. Looks like this will be an interesting west coast event, not to be missed by anyone interested in experimental or improvizational music. The website has all the details on registering as a musician.
