Hello everyone! In June, we are starting a brand new violin technique course with the fantastic Ann Vancoillie. She is an incredible classical player and Concertmaster at the Opera Orchestra. She also studied jazz a few years ago and holds a degree in jazz violin as well! The course will take place on Mondays (when I don't teach). If you are interested in joining the VIP group, or if you are already a VIP member, could you please fill out the survey to help us set the schedule? Which schedule do you prefer for Mondays? Salut tout le monde ! En juin, nous lançons un tout nouveau cours de technique du violon avec la fantastique Ann Vancoillie. C'est une violoniste classique incroyable, violon solo à l'Orchestre de l'Opéra. Elle a également étudié le jazz il y a quelques années et possède aussi un diplôme en violon jazz ! Le cours aura lieu le lundi (mon jour de repos pour les cours). Si tu es intéressé(e) pour nous rejoindre en VIP, ou si tu fais déjà partie du groupe VIP, peux-tu répondre au sondage pour fixer l'horaire ? Quel horaire préfères-tu pour le lundi ?

For my upcoming Gypsy Jazz workshops in Switzerland and in the Cévennes, I have a small challenge to overcome. Since I am a violinist, my workshops naturally fill up with violinists. Yet, what I love above all else is creating genuine interaction between violinists and other instrumentalists. That is why I chose to offer global Gypsy Jazz workshops rather than exclusive jazz violin workshops. The problem is that I am still short on guitarists and double bassists—and why not other instruments—to equip our workshops and get the tunes rolling in real-world conditions! How can you help me? I am relying on WORD-OF-MOUTH. If you know any guitarists or double bassists around you, or other instrumentalists who want to learn gypsy jazz, please tell them about my workshops in Fribourg and in the Cévennes. It is the perfect opportunity to work on accompaniment, la pompe, rhythmic placement, and improvisation within a real collective of musicians. We happily welcome guitarists or other instrumentalists who want to discover the style, as we have several teachers available. As for the double bassists, they will have the luxury of getting individual lessons... 👉 All the info on both workshops and the full schedule of the Sessions Manouches festival are available here: https://www.evaslongo.com/sessions-manouches-links Thank you so much for your help and for sharing, and see you very soon for more music!

🇺🇸 @Ann Vancoillie just released two amazing videos featuring my teaching system and my summer camp! She highlights essential techniques I'm passionate about, like mastering ghost notes and achieving a continuous bowing motion to truly unlock your jazz sound and rhythm. I’m reposting these to make sure you don't miss out on her impressions and to give you a glimpse into what we’re building at the camp! 🇫🇷 @Ann Vancoillie vient de publier deux super vidéos où elle présente mon système pédagogique et l'ambiance de mon stage d'été ! Elle y explique avec beaucoup de clarté l'importance de maîtriser la technique des ghost notes et la fluidité du coup d'archet continu, des piliers pour débloquer le son jazz et le rythme.. Je repartage tout ça ici pour m'assurer que tu puisses découvrir ses impressions et avoir un aperçu de ce qui t'attend au camp !
