Anacrusic Improvisation

After mastering the ability to use alternating arm beat patterns, the next step is to work with a partner. One friend is at the piano, ready to improvise while following the other friend, who conducts various lengths of anacrusic phrases, forming sequences and patterns. Furthermore, notice how the conductor, Steven, listens to the piano as the pianist watches him. They work in concert so that the viewer can’t tell who is leading and who is following.
