It was a great course! Rodrigue and Eva adapt to the level of each, return to the technique, the fundamentals of gypsy jazz by making us benefit from their experience as professionals.
Morning instrument workshops are conducted with rigor and seriousness in a relaxed atmosphere. In the afternoon, the group workshops make it possible to apply all this to standards that we play at the beginning of the evening throughout the course. And in the evening, it's Jam to let off steam and learn even more! All this, in a magnificent setting and a nice and friendly atmosphere. We are delighted by this experience, it was great!

Wonderful moments thanks to Eva, who was attentive to everyone and created a warm, caring atmosphere among all participants, no matter their level. I learned a lot, played a lot and with everyone — a beautiful experience, a great moment of sharing, a musical bubble! Can’t wait for the next time...

Audio transcription:
"Good evening everyone.
So, this is Catherine, I was at the workshop in the Cévennes with you, and well, I wanted to tell you that during this workshop, I might have been a bit less comfortable than some who were used to it, a bit shy, but actually, this workshop brought me so much. So, I thank you all because I've just done my first gig back—we've restarted the Gypsy jazz nights in my village there—and it's actually so great, everyone told me that I had made progress with the sound, with the ideas, all of that. And especially, this workshop really, really boosted me fully to to work on the violin, to do the exercises, to listen, try to improvise with backing tracks and everything. And I really wanted to thank all the teachers for everything they gave me, because now I truly feel the beneficial effects of this workshop, and so do the people who listen to me. So, a thousand thanks to everyone. See you soon, I hope."
