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 7-late teens and adults are invited to join us for instruction in traditional music.
Youth
Join Bob, Gaye, Phil, Will and more for the holidays!
Upper Intermediate & Advanced youth will rehearse 2 hours of common and lesser-known holiday music in level-appropriate groups. Beginning & newer intermediate students will split their time between holiday jamming/singing and Holiday Folk Art with Emily Brock.
Our Holiday JAM was so much fun last year! Enjoy these 3 weeks at $50 for the first child/ $40 for additional children. Inquire with Julie at pacjam@tryonarts.org or 864-420-6407 for scholarships.
