What we’re about
Welcome to the Old Time Music Learning Jam in Brooklyn!
This jam takes place twice a month, on the second and fourth Monday of each month. The cost to participate is $10. This money goes to pay our jam leader for teaching, mentoring and leading. You can pay when you get there, in cash or by Venmo.
Who should attend: If you play the fiddle, clawhammer banjo, guitar (rhythm), bones, washboard or mando, welcome! Upright bass is welcome too, though we tend to have a regular bass player, who can take turns with you. This jam is a learning environment. We start out playing tunes slowly and then we speed up to what might be a challenging pace for some. We learn a few new tunes each session. If you can't keep up yet, don't worry. What matters is that you're there. And if the pace and the tune is challenging, you can play quietly so that the tune can continue to flow and you can still learn.
