This presentation examines my experience leading university music students in projects involving improvisation and collaborative music creation, with a particular focus on my working methods. At the heart of this research project are five selected creative projects that I have led over the past four years involving classical music performance students. This presentation will begin with a short overview of the projects, followed by a 'backstage' look at the creation processes and a critical analysis of the outcomes. Finally, I will discuss the roles one can play when coaching these projects. This research project is published online in the Society for Artistic Research’s Research Catalogue (2021).
