The Wall Street Journal featured my DePauw improvisation students in the November 28, 2008 article Making Up the Classics. "Few teachers take improvisation further than Eric Edberg, a professor of music at DePauw University, in Greencastle, Ind. . . . Prof. Edberg's unorthodox coaching sessions begin with freestyle humming, sighing, babbling and finger-wiggling. Sometimes he turns off the lights and instructs students to play in the dark to hone their instincts. His students say it helps them develop their own musical voice."
