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."

This workshop is for intermediate level fiddlers, novice-advanced cellists and Novice-Intermediate guitarists and is a unique opportunity to learn from and spend quality time with great musicians and highly experienced and fun teachers. Our goal with Janie's Jumpstart 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.
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.
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!
