Testimonials!

It was a fantastic workshop! Rodrigue and Eva adapt to each participant's level, reviewing techniques and the fundamentals of Gypsy jazz while sharing their professional experience.
The instrument workshops in the morning are conducted with positive energy and professionalism in a relaxed atmosphere. In the afternoon, the group workshops allow us to apply everything we've learned to standard tunes that we then play for the entire group in the early evening. And in the evening, there's a jam session to let loose and learn even more! All of this takes place in a magnificent setting and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We are thrilled with this experience; it was brilliant!

An idealistic setting, friendly people sharing the same passion, and delicious food. Excellent violin and guitar teachers; I would love to go back.

Participants at workshop 2023-2024-2025

Wonderful moments thanks to Eva, who was attentive to everyone and everything, and who fostered a welcoming atmosphere among all participants, regardless of their skill level. I learned so much, played a lot, —a wonderful experience, a beautiful moment of sharing, a musical haven! Looking forward to the next time!
Pierre
Participant at workshop 2024-2025

Well, good evening everyone. My name is Catherine. I was at the workshop in the Cévennes with you, and I just wanted to tell you that during this workshop, I might have been a little less comfortable than some of the others who were more experienced, a bit shy, but actually, this workshop brought me so much. So I want to thank you all because I just played my first gig since the workshop. We've started up the Gypsy jazz evenings again in my village, and it's so great! Everyone told me I've improved in terms of my sound, my ideas, everything. And above all, this workshop really gave me a huge boost to practice the violin, to do the exercises, to listen, to try improvising with backing tracks and everything. And I really wanted to thank all the teachers for everything they've given me because I can really feel the positive effects of this workshop, and so can the people who listen to me. So a thousand thanks to everyone. See you soon, I hope."
