Hello to anyone wondering if the jams are still active. YES! Jason produces new main lists every few months. We meet from the beginning of September to the end of May. (Following the usual school calendar.)
Come and join us at either jam. You are welcome to stop by and observe and see how we operate. It is always fun with lots of laughter.

New song list - March to May 2025

2/27/2025

0 Comments

 
In the attachments, I have included new song lists for the Beginner jam. Starting next week, these will replace the song lists that were used for the jam between December 2024 and February 2025. (I have also included in the attachments the two other handouts for the jam that go together with the song lists. No changes have been made to these handouts.)

For each of the songs with vocals, two keys are placed in parentheses. The purpose of this is not to dictate what key individual singers should sing the songs in, but to be a guide for choosing a key appropriate for one's voice and for the style of the music. For the men: start with the key that is listed first, and then from there, gradually lower or gradually raise the key to find which key works best for you to sing the song in. (But, in general, the higher, the better, for the style of music.) For the women: start with the key that is listed second, and then from there, gradually lower or gradually raise the key to find which key works best for you to sing the song in. (But, in general, try not to raise the key very much higher: once again, keeping in mind the style of music we are dealing with here.)
