Slow Jam with Marv
Have you ever tried joining a jam where they played so fast you couldn’t keep up? We all need time to learn. If you are new to an instrument or just haven’t picked with others, play with us in a welcoming group setting.
Fiddle tunes are first played slowly and then repeated at a faster tempo. Learning to play songs cleanly and on-beat, along with gradually stepping up the tempo on the second try is one of the best ways to improve. The slow jam is led by Marv Sobolesky, music teacher and owner of Marv’s Music.
