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.
