I wanted to let you know how much I loved this challenge! I was so very impressed with your guest artists - I learned a lot. It was a great use of time in this very busy time of year. Thank you for this gift of song. Loved every minute!
Thank you for a wonderful Summer Song Challenge. It was so much fun and I loved being part of the experience. It was so lovely to meet new people.
Mostly, I am grateful to you for all your work you put into such a great experience for us all!! Thank you ❤️
This was my first art zoom class. So much fun! Doing a project together with folks from all over North America was really cool. Everyone shared stories and tips, really nice people. Rosann made everyone feel right at home. We each made an accordion book with unique centre-piece spinners, themed to music about "rain." It was brilliant! Rosann is well organized, manages time, is a passionate and knowledgeable leader. I would give her 10 out of 10 recommendation. Yes, I will be at her next challenge.
Rosann's Summer Song Challenge is wonderful. I joined last summer and couldn't wait till the next one. She puts together a list of songs that not only bring back great memories, but some new surprises along the way. The group were all so welcoming and full of knowledge. The best thing, you don't need to be a gifted artist! Come join me next year - I'd love to know what songs you would pick.

“Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing.
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing.
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty. What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music,
for giving it to me.”
~ Abba
“I hear the music and feelings arise;
I can play the music to feel that way again.”
~ Jennifer Buchanan, Wellness, Wellplayed: The Power of a Playlist
