Jams - Located At String Theory Music
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fall 2017 Jam Schedule-
1:30 Every Tuesday!
$10 per seat, open to beginner and intermediate players
These jams are a bit different from your average free "open jam" you may see elsewhere in the area. We highly encourage attending those jams as well! At String Theory we add many elements of focused education at our jams. We take time to help the needs and suggest tips and tricks to each individual player. In a sense these jams are a bit like attending a workshop. A Jam workshop! At these jams you may play a certain song multiple time to work on specific skills for that particular song and songs with similar style and structure. You may learn melodies and harmonies depending on you desire and skill level. You may learn new ideas on how to improvise over jam friendly music, start and stop a tune using classic "kickoffs" and "ending licks" and other specific techniques. But it's not all learning, the main focus here is actually JAMMING! The goal here is to find a good combination of focused learning, jam etiquette and casual jamming in a group setting.
PLAY MUSIC WITH PEOPLE. That is how you learn the best! Whether you work by yourself or take private lessons, and no matter what style of musician you are or want to be, the musical knowledge you can attain from playing jam friendly standard folk music with other people in a friendly positive environment is invaluable. No matter how hard you "train," there is nothing like being a part of a larger unit and learning all that goes into jamming with others. There are some basic musical rules and jam etiquette that help any player become a much better well rounded musician in any application. This is a way to really apply what you you have learned, and also learn what it is you need to work on! The world of music is so infinite and sometimes overwhelming, this is a great way to get a grasp on what it is you are actually trying to do, even if the music at the jams is not necessarily your "cup of tea." As a promise, at these jams you will learn as much or more than any private lesson simply by being forced to use you ear, play and improvise with songs you may or may not even know, and follow the basic language of musicians. You will finally understand the value of those pesky scales and musical theories people always try and push on you. You will see how much goes into even the most simplest of songs, and most importantly, realize that even a beginner player with just the most basic of skills can play with more advanced players and actually ENHANCE the overall sound and experience!
Please contact us if you have any more questions or need help deciding if these jams are right for you!
