Calling All Closet Pickers, This Is For You!
Pete ("Dr. Banjo") Wernick offers jam camps nationwide. Pete's inventive teaching method focuses on the student's desire to play music in a social setting. The emphasis is to address the general lack of this type of learning situation, and these camps have been launching beginning jammers everywhere!
You will learn how to be in a bluegrass jam session, fitting in at your own ability level. You will be jamming the first morning!
Learn: Understanding, low-pressure, experienced teaching by Jeff Burke. Hands-on learning in large and small groups. How to play lead, fake solos, sing harmony. Group and individualized instruction on backup techniques. Ground rules and etiquette; learn many bluegrass standards.
In over 100 camps, we've taught hundreds to jam. You can too! All bluegrass instruments, all skill levels welcome.
