All levels Old Time Jam

At West Sixth NuLu
7-9:30pm

Are you eager to jam with others but need some practice to feel comfortable in a jam setting? Whether you are new to jamming or want a refresher on jam etiquette, this class is for you. Over the semester, we will work from a list of songs familiar to bluegrass and old-time jams.

I will draw from my 18 years of experience jamming and playing in bands to teach you:

how to kick off a song

how to use non-verbal cues to communicate with others

how to arrange a song to include breaks

how to end a song

many other essential elements for jamming in large and small groups.

This course is for beginner/intermediate players who can play in time and switch between chords. Instruments may include; mandolin, banjo, guitar, bass, fiddle, ukulele, and voice. 14 spots are open.

Open to ages 15 and up.

This class meets in person at Louisville Folk School at 225 N Clifton Ave.

Old Time Jam

free and open to all

West Sixth Brewery in NuLu

Every 1st and 3rd Sunday of Month

7:30-9:30pm

We will spend the first hour learning one song and then deconstruct it to study the melody, rhythm, harmonic voicing, texture, form, tonality, lyrics, and meter while exploring why and how these musical elements help give historical, geographical, spiritual, and emotional context to the song. During the second half of the workshop, we will split into small groups and reconstruct the song to create something altogether unique that tells a story from our individual/small group perspectives. The instructor will provide individualized instruction as needed to the break-out groups. Participants will be invited to share/perform their reconstructed song at the end.

This workshop is appropriate for individuals 15 years and up.
