This experiential workshop will be held over a course of the first three Sundays in May. We will explore groove, vocal harmonizing, expression, syncopation, holding the rhythm and structure, the musical conversation, music as meditation, and much more. This workshop will point us in the direction of an ever expanding and deepening understanding of what it takes to make a jam fun. Everyone as a right to be heard and a responsibility to listen. We will put those rights and responsibilities into practice and perspective. A good jam is an inspiration for growth and healing. Space is limited, so if you are interested, call for reservations at 541-973-5421.
