These will be on the third Saturday of each month and the first jam session will be Saturday, June 20 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm at The Coffee Tree Books & Brew across Bailey Cove Road from Grissom High School in Huntsville, Alabama. Here’s a map in a new browser page. It’s geared towards anyone wanting to learn better jamming skills. It’s primarily for my bluegrass banjo students, but anyone is welcome and encouraged to bring an instrument: guitars, mandolins acoustic basses, dobros, harmonicas and fiddles are most welcome! Also, you don’t need to be a student of mine to attend.

As we practice at home and in formal lessons, it’s easy to get accustomed to playing in a vacuum. And yet so much of the learning experience in music is accomplished with the direct interaction only found in a live jam session!

The purpose of these jams sessions will be:

• To give you more hands-on experience with playing in a live, yet stress-free, setting. No one’s going to throw tomatoes!
• To introduce students to a wider variety of bluegrass, folk, jazz, etc. songs for possibly learning in the future.
• Lastly, it’s a great way to meet other students!

So, join us – it’s for everyone, whether you bring a banjo, guitar or other instrument to play or just want to watch and learn!
