The Hidden Key to Jamming

Becoming a Smart Ensemble Musician

Playing music with others is an incredible, inspiring experience, but many musicians lack the skills and confidence to even give it a try. Jim’s experiences walking into new situations where he can’t read a songbook or blackboard have motivated him to develop a method he calls “Survival Guitar”, an innovative technique that applies to any instrument or life situation.

In this fun and practical workshop, students develop the confidence to avoid the age-old “I’m not good enough to do that” trap. Instead, they will discover the power to fly without a net, leap into group playing, and to make positive contributions to any ensemble setting.

The Hidden Key to Jamming workshop is available in a single or multiple-session format.
