Expanding the horizon with improvisation
The project , To broaden your horizons with improvisation is Katrína's graduation project from Creative Music Media at the Iceland Academy of the Arts. The project is based on her final thesis, ,Spuni, solution to all problems?“ and the goal of the project was to introduce different types of improvisation to young music students with the purpose of showing them what improvisation can do for them as musicians and how it can be useful to them in their studies.

Katrín Karítas Viðarsdóttir
Katrín Karítas started her music studies at the Music School in Akureyri when she was five years old. There she practiced piano, violin and viola, but the viola is her main instrument today. In the fall of 2021, she started studying at the Iceland Academy of the Arts in classical instrument teaching on viola under the guidance of Þórunn Óskar Marinósdóttir. After the freshman trip early in the first semester, Katrín saw how much music has to offer and therefore decided to also study at the Creative Music Media, but since she could not skip the classics, she will graduate from the Classical Teacher course on viola in the spring of 2025. Katrín has played in all kinds of orchestras such as Korda Samfónía, the Youth Orchestra of Iceland and has played with the Northern Symphony Orchestra.
