Come join us at Hoover Middle School in San Jose, CA for our
next monthly jamboree! Monthly jams are held on
the first Sunday of each month from 1 PM to 5 PM.
The Beginners' Circle slow jam has been a popular part of our monthly jam.
Each month one of our experienced musicians leads a slow-jam group, playing
tunes we've announced plus other tunes suggested by the participants.
Slow play usually starts around 2pm. (The schedule sometimes changes
depending on the day's other activities. See the
Events Page for current information .)
Bring your acoustic instrument (not just fiddles!) and practice playing
with a group, learn some new tunes, and pick up tips on jamming, and
make some new friends.
See the Beginners' Page
for more information, including sheet music and audio files for
many of the tunes we've done.
