The Montpelier Senior Center will offer a "Slow Jam" on an every other Thursdays basis starting on Thursday October 28. The purpose of Slow Jam format is to get the players familiar with the jam protocols associated with traditional and Celtic music as well as build confidence to participate in other jams. The session will start with a short instruction followed by playing familiar tunes at a slower than normal tempo and focus on playing by ear once the key of the song is announced. All acoustic string instruments are welcome (no amplification please). Wind instruments will not be able to participate. Jacob Stone, Greta Stone and Susan Reid will be the musicians who will lead the group. All ages and levels of playing are welcome to participate. These sessions are meant for beginning and intermediate level players with some basic familiarity with their instruments and will not include in-depth instrument instruction. These sessions focus on fun and learning. There will be a $5 donation requested at each session. We will be wearing masks and plan to be socially distanced during these sessions held at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center, 58 Barre St., Montpelier.
