Boldly asserting that everyone can and should improvise, The Art of Becoming sets out a framework for understanding improvisation as a universal capability and a social behavior, with important implications for contemporary artistic practices, pedagogy, and music therapy. The Art of Becoming by MacDonald & Wilson presents a wide ranging discussion and analysis of the myriad ways in which improvisation is currently viewed and approached by practitioners. Academic and street wise by turns, this book makes a very brave attempt to document the all and everything of an activity that by its nature eludes systematic analysis.
