Junior Appalachian Musicians
Fiddle class taught by Jim Vipperman at the Andy Griffith Playhouse in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, 2005 Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) afterschool programs provide a growing number of North Carolina students with the opportunity to learn the music of their region from master players. Master musicians offer upper elementary and middle school students instruction on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin and other instruments. Students learn to play traditional tunes by ear and to perform together in small groups. There are currently seven JAM programs operating in seven counties in Western North Carolina. Downloads:
