    As for myself, I practice scales for tunes I’m working on.

    I still practice the pentatonic a lot, adding different types of variation.

    Do you practice scales?

    If so, how?

    What’s your relationship with scales?
    Are they fun, horrible or neutral.

    Do you use scale books?

    How about the scale lessons in the FiddleHed course?

    Or Scale Central? https://fiddlehed.com/practice-tools/scale-central/

    Let me know!!

      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?

        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. 🙂

    Transitions sound pretty good!

    If you want to get more confident, then practice “Transition Loops” (2-4 bars total):
    –End of the A part/Beginning of B part
    –End of the B part/Beginning of A part

      I really enjoyed listening to this. Great job with the fiddle arrangement. I would be interested in learning an “untraditional song” perhaps a new fiddle journey. Thank you for keeping the new ideas flowing!
