What are people saying?

"The Jumpstart approach is really a fabulous way to learn by spending quality immersion time with the best teachers and students! The location was ideal and of course the food was amazing.I really enjoyed the small class size and intimate approach. I've been to the big banjo camps and after Jumpstart I'm focusing on looking forward to keeping thing small."

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.
