We are in search of Mandolins for our JAM program. If you know of anyone that has any available & would be willing to donate them for our students, please let me know!

Would your 3rd - 8th grader be interested in learning to play an instrument? Then JAM is the program for them!

Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) is an after-school program that introduces music through small group instruction on instruments common to the Appalachian region, such as fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and guitar.

In JAM, instrument instruction is often augmented by dance and vocal instruction as well as string band classes and group enrichment lessons, which introduce children to additional Appalachian culture and history. Local experts, visiting artists, and an introduction to the rich history of music unique to each local community further supplement program offerings.
