I was really impressed with Cathy’s improvisation workshops. There were some excellent ideas for students to explore that were carefully scaffolded in a safe and caring environment. The students initially were at little nervous at being asked to be creative ‘on the spot’, but by the end of the 3rd session were starting to feel more comfortable about taking a risk with their creativity. Within the group there were some very capable musicians who tend to look for non-existing ‘perfection’ in their playing. So the ability to be able to ‘let go’ and perform creatively with freedom is an invaluable skill for them to learn. We look forward to some follow up workshops in the future.

I was very happy as this programme nurtured both beginners, intermediate players, and the more advanced. Cathy was so supportive of all of us and helped us determined by our skill and knowledge. I liked how she was always open to answer questions on the topics, and gave us guidance on how to improve.

I just loved every minute of the course. You are such an engaging and enthusiastic and diplomatic presenter!
As a beginner, and an old one at that, I was very hesitant to enrol, but you created such a welcoming and non- threatening environment that I was more than comfortable muddling through my mistake-ridden attempts. It was lots and lots of fun.
I will be following up all the information you sent through, and will definitely be a “returning guest” for your future courses.
