Pac JAM
Building Community
One Tune at a Time
Pacolet Junior Appalachian Musicians (PacJAM) provides an opportunity for area youth and adults to experience community through the joy of participating in traditional music.
PacJAM offers sessions each fall and winter/spring semester, as well as an intensive day camp one week each summer for youth. Students of all skill levels ages 6-late teens and adults are invited to join us for instruction in traditional music.
Youth
PacJAM teaches the importance of music and community through weekly group instrument instruction, coached multi-instrument JAMs, singing, and weekly insights into the people, places, and events that contribute to Appalachian music and culture. Youth ages 8 through high school may choose instruction for beginner, intermediate or advanced guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass, and banjo. Also new this semester is instruction on the dulcimer. Students aged 6-8 get their start on ukulele.
