      This tune is a great challenge for you, Owen. It’s a thorough tune and you are diving into it well. Cajun tunes are certainly a whole other breed 🙂 Thanks for bringing the Cajun style into our lens. And memorized too!? Beauty! 🙏🏾

      Groovin’ tune! Great challenge with the key changing, Debbie, along with all the fun variations you include.
      Your dulcimer backing track is so pleasant and supportive. Thanks for sharing 🌷

      Susie, beautifully played. It’s great how you share insight into what drew you to the song, as well as intentions moving forward. Your getting a nice sound and rhythm going with this. I really like how much you show your enjoyment in playing with your smiles. Looking forward to hearing you share again 👍🏽 🙂

        Thanks for this workshop Jason, as with all your workshops, it was really well paced with clear instructions. I think the jam tracks are a real winner! I’m looking forward to coming along for the ride as you develop your ideas on teaching improvisation.
        Would you consider a lesson on Gershwin’s Summertime at some stage?

          Jocelyn Martens replied 2 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks for sharing this reflection, Marg. Improv is a big draw for expansion and creative growth 👍🏼
          I will include your lesson suggestion to our list for consideration, and please stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to be supported in one another sharing song lessons with the community. 🙂
