I have had such fun teaching "Blackberry Jam" by Elissa Milne. She is a fabulous composer and it's a special piece with a great groove!

What a great suggestion! It's a little more advanced than I was thinking but it's such a catchy tune — I'll take a serious look at it and see what I come up with. Thanks Amie! PS your performance on YouTube is great! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0YaeIYThzw)

Thank you so much, Garreth! Elissa has some super wonderful pieces to explore. This one really is fabulous and I loved her focus on "semitones" and "syncopation" - so smile inducing and I loved playing it and have really enjoyed introducing this one to students as well!
