Imagination Exploration

The creative joy of improvisation

A journey into musical imagination.

There are no mistakes, only fun and joy, when the jazz gurus of I Hold the Lion’s Paw travel with you! Students learn how to make anything possible with just their own ears and minds, and are shown how to create beyond their wildest dreams by following their heart’s imagination.
