I very much enjoyed this course of lectures, giving an overview and examples of historical improvisation through the ages, and advocating for its reintroduction to modern pedagogy. One of my biggest takeaways from this course, is that there are more resources available than I had known about before, and I was made aware of even more performers who share their performances with the world. Well worth the time investment! Thank you, Darren Shearer
