Jams

Meadowood hosts jam sessions two nights a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays.  

 

Every Tuesday, musicians play bluegrass on fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin and bass from 6 to 8 pm.

Participants do NOT use sheet music in this jam.  Instead, they have either memorized tunes or are capable of improvising, finding chord progressions, melodies and breaks.  Players are welcome to bring recording devices so they can woodshed on the tunes between jams. This link takes you to a video of a jam in 2016.

 

On the 2nd Thursday of the month, musicians play light classical and pop on violin, viola, cello and bass from 6:30 to  8 pm.

THIS JAM IS ON HIATUS, SCHEDULED TO RESUME ON APRIL 9, 2020

In this 'jam' players DO use sheet music that Meadowood provides.  The music is playable for advancing beginners and early intermediate players, first and third positions, moderately simple rhythms and accessible keys.  The music we play is available through links to a cloud based music notation software, flat.io. Players bring their own printed music music stands. Players are welcome to bring recording devices.
