The ability to improvise in any given situation be it musical, business, or personal is incredibly important.\u00a0 Learning how to work and improvise within a given framework is a key to being successful and applying the musical principles of improvisation have allowed me to be successful in my non-musical endeavors.<\/p>\n

The ability to improvise really means being able to adapt to different frameworks and those frameworks can be musical, in terms of form or complexity, to name a few, but frameworks are also be a part of life.\u00a0 One’s job, one’s friends and family, co-workers, teams and projects are frameworks of a different sort and our ability to adapt to change and circumstance is critical.<\/p>\n

Improvising is the ability to take the frameworks we have been handed and to alter the parameters that exist in them.\u00a0 As a musician that means who you are playing with, the compositions you select, and how flexible or rigidly you approach the forms within which you improvise.\u00a0 In a non-musical context it means adapting to the outlines of a project and the abilities of the people working on that project.<\/p>\n

This is why the arts are so important in our daily lives.\u00a0 Someone who has never tried to develop their artistic abilities will have a very different approach to solving problems and will not have the flexibility needed to sort out what the best outcome could be.\u00a0 I’l develop this further but in a nutshell our society ignores the arts and it hurts us in in many more ways than most people imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
