"I can't imagine a more ideal immersion into the old-time tradition than one of Janie's Jumpstart weekends. The collection of talented instructors, the small class size, the jamming opportunities, the bucolic setting, the great food -- see for yourselves. You'll learn a lot and have a ton of fun." Paul O'Connor-clawhammer banjo (Oxford, PA Jumpstart)
Instructors
This workshop is dedicated to Old Time Fiddle, Clawhammer Banjo, Guitar and Appalchian Clogging! It’s a unique opportunity to learn from and spend quality time with great musicians and highly experienced and fun teachers. Our goal with the Jumpstart workshop is to not only teach you great tunes, but how to play them better and have more fun! By focusing on both technique and musicality, we will help you get your playing to the next level.
For those of you fiddlers, banjo and guitar players, this is a great time for you to get some rhythm in your body and feet by learning some cloggin steps. Playing for dancing is fun and great for your fiddling!
Janie's Jumpstart offers small class settings of about maximum 8-10 students per instructor so there is a lot of attention to your individual needs. We make every effort to have the playing ability at the same level in your instrument class to ensure a wonderful and supportive learning environment.
Music classes will be held for Intermediate/Advanced Level Clawhammer banjo and Intermediate/Advanced level Fiddle, and Intermediate Back up Guitar.
PLUS Appalachian Clogging class FOR all! Learn to dance, learn to play for dancers!
Feel free to contact JANIE directly (janerothfield@gmail.com) if you are not sure if the class levels are right for you. She will help answer that question for you!
Students will have the option to participate in many hours of old time music jam during the workshop with staff and other participants.
Accommodations are NOT provided.

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!
