There, kids of all ages get together and play. Fiddles, mandolins, guitars, basses and banjos are the most played, but we've seen flutes, harmoniums and drums show up for the jam as well!
I'll be posting below, the sheetmusic we use for the jam, put together by Hope Grietzer, the original founder of the jam.
As you would expect from a kid's jam, most of the songs are pretty simple but normally have some sort of harmony written above for accompaniment purposes. I sould mention that parents are more then welcome to play along (as long as they bring the kids, of course).
There are also many other tunes not in these packets that we play, so expect to see a lot more music posted here down the road.
Of course the jam is free, except for an occasional donation to the BRAS.
The Kid's Jam is a great learning enviroment for young musicians to get their feet wet playing in a group environment without the stress and demand of an orchestra or ensemble. It's supposed to be fun and relaxed and as it should be in grown-up jams, nobody cares if you blow the rhythm, melody, or harmony... There will always be somebody carrying the tune. Bring the laddies and check it out!
