I give away a free private lesson each month to the winner of the introductions contest! Most likes from the community wins... Congratulations @Sue Lenssen for winning April! This May, let's improvise simply with our voices: "I improvise!" Take the phrase "I improvise," and make a short recording improvising with your voice! How can you change the pitch, volume, rhythm, or other elements of music to make it your own?! PS - this gives you a chance to discover the feature of attaching an audio recording to a comment here in Skool!
