We heard from Mark Miracle in Phoenix who is a fully certified Pete Wernick (Dr. Banjo) Bluegrass Jam Instructor, about his thoughts on Jam Classes. Mark's next class begins this Saturday and we'll be hearing from him here from week to week as the class progresses and get and inside look from both the perspective of the instructor as well as some of the students.
The Art of Jamming!
Pete Wernick Jam Classes are now being held all over the country and even in Australia! Pete's renowned and innovative method of teaching the art of jamming - known appropriately as "The Wernick Method" - has gone from the festival to the classroom. In doing so, we as teachers, can give more information and person guidance to those wishing to learn to play music with other folks. The curriculum is geared towards the novice player as well as the intermediate-level musicians, as you will be learning how to maintain tempo, learning to "see & hear" the chord changes and of course the oh-so-important "jam etiquette"...and much more.

Remember folks, music is just art for the ears!
