Improvisation in Middle School Band

From 2019-2020, I completed my Master's Degree in Music Education through Bowling Green State University. As part of that program, I completed a capstone project in which I studied the use of improvisation exercises in middle school band curricula as a tool to improve student musicianship and motivation. The final draft of this project is shown below. Special thanks to Dr. Michael Knight of Iowa Wesleyan University for his guidance on this project.
