What's the JamPool About?
Music, the way it's often taught, is a lot of work: practice first, then play with others when you're good enough. "Work, then pleasure."
You can avoid most of the 'work' by starting to play with others right away. Sure, there is much stumbling initially, but stumbling with others can be a lot of fun, especially when you're with friends. Moreover, learning is actually accelerated in a group music environment.
Our mission is to help people of ordinary talent return to playing music with each other. We have proved locally (in Santa Cruz, CA) that this approach works. Finding ways to make that happen 'out there' is our next step.
That's where the JamPool comes in. The JamPool helps folks—especially beginners, who are typically more isolated from the “music scene”—to find each other and arrange jam sessions. Enter your location in the form to the left. You'll be able to see who else is registered in your area and view local bulletin board posts. Then, register yourself in the JamPool!
JamShops: learn to jam with others
We created the JamShop framework to offer a safe, structured environment to folks in Santa Cruz learning to jam. Perhaps you'd like to join us… or, get one started in your area! Read more.
