L13 Teenage Open Rock Jam

This work­shop is open to boys and girls  ages 13–17 at all skill lev­els, but ide­ally every­one will have a basic knowl­edge of his or  her instru­ment. The work­shop will focus on improv­ing indi­vid­ual play­ing skills and cre­at­ing a strong group dynamic. The group (the “band”) will start out learn­ing and play­ing a set of clas­sic 3 & 4 chord rock tunes and over time will move into more com­pli­cated pieces, per­haps includ­ing original songwriting.

Every 1st and 3rd Sun­day in Wake­field, 3–4:30pm, $20/session.

The Music Work­shops at JamSpot get you play­ing in a band with­out any of the has­sles. Each work­shop is formed from play­ers from around the area with sim­i­lar musi­cal tastes and skill levels.

Sup­ported by a work­shop leader, the group will develop and learn a set of songs, expe­ri­enc­ing the dynam­ics of work­ing as a team and improv­ing indi­vid­ual playing skills.

Our work­shop lead­ers are pro­fes­sional musi­cians and expe­ri­enced music teach­ers who really know their stuff. They come to each ses­sion with a set of songs to play (sug­ges­tions are always wel­come!), help each player learn their part and lead the group through the song list. We usu­ally run through 4–5 songs at each ses­sion and we often record the best ver­sions onto a CD you can take home with you.

We offer work­shops in many styles, from clas­sic rock to funk, blues, R&B, Motown and coun­try. Most work­shops are offered in the evenings from 7:30–9:30pm. We pro­vide all of the equip­ment, includ­ing drums and keyboards.
