This weekend camp is dedicated to old time fiddle, clawhammer banjo and guitar. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from and spend quality time with 3 great musicians and fun teachers. You will not only learn tunes, but how to play them better! Janie, Pete and Kellie each have 30+ years of playing, learning from older generation old time musicians and absorbing the heart and soul of the old time sound.
Classes will be held for Novice and Intermediate clawhammer banjo players, Intermediate-advanced fiddlers and intermediate guitarists with a focus on technique and musicality to get your playing to the next level!
Janie's Jumpstart promises small class settings of a MAXIMUM of 8-10 students per instructor so there is alot of attention to the individual needs of each student. You will get over 8 hours of instruction and hours of jamming! This Jumpstart weekend will be held in a comfortable home setting in Mountain View, California at the home of Susan Goodis. The full weekend price includes all music instruction, jamming and meals-featuring fresh, tasty food and admission to the Friday night House Concert/Jam!
Within the small group and individual sessions with instructors, you will have a tremendous opportunity to work with and learn from your teachers. In addition to the individual instrument classes, there will be opportunities to play and jam with our Jumpstart staff throughout the weekend.
This is not a "learn as many tunes as possible" camp, although you will learn many tunes-it is more about playing the tunes better and getting that old time sound!
Accomodations are NOT provided. There are a number of B&B's and hotels 10-20 minutes from the camp location and surrounding towns..

Georgia asked me if I could play the fiddle and click my heels in the air-I said "Sure" and I started walking down from the cabin playing St. Anne's Reel. I heard Georgia say "2" and up I went! She got the shot as is-no photoshop here!
