Pete Wernick's BLUEGRASS JAM CAMP
What it is:
A combination of classroom and hands-on instruction by an experienced, understanding teacher. (7-10:30 Fri; 9:30-5:30 Sat and Sun.)
You will be grouped with others according to experience, and do a lot of jamming, sometimes guided, sometimes on your own!
Learn ear skills, musicianship, band dynamics and backup, harmony singing, practice techniques, and the how-to's of a variety of jam situations.
How you qualify:
For this Intermediate camp, jamming experience is required, including for banjos, mandolins, fiddles, and guitar players the ability to fake solos and willingness to sing.
If unsure regarding which camp to attend, email pete@drbanjo.com. Basic Jam Camp attendees will generally then be qualified for the Intermediate camp.
Comments from recent jam campers:
"I have been waiting to start playing real bluegrass with people for quite a while, and now I can."
"It's been three weeks, but I'm still on a high from your Bluegrass Jam Camp in Gettysburg. To put it mildly -- it was absolutely fantastic! My banjo playing has improved immeasurably since Camp -- even my wife has noticed. I am now actively looking for other jammers."
"One of the best experiences in or out of music I have ever had!"
"I had a great time, learned a lot, met great people.. The best week of my whole year!"
"It was exactly what I needed. I will now have the courage to actually take my banjo with me to jam sessions instead of just hanging around listening."
"An incredible experience... a depth of knowledge on the subject beyond just technique, including the history, etiquette, and flavor of the genre."
