› 2019 Jam Camp at Phillip Island - Australian Bluegrass

IT'S TIME TO CONSIDER A JAM CAMP FOR 2019. Jam Camps Australia has just confirmed dates for the 2019 Jam Camp in Victoria's Phillip Island. The dates are 10th to 12th August with options for early check in on the evening of the 9th - same as last year. * All bluegrass instruments; * No jamming experience necessary; * You will be jamming the first session.

Greg McGrath has been a bluegrass musician and teacher for some 25 years, teaching banjo and guitar during that time. Since attending Pete Wernick's 2007 jam camp in North Carolina, he has hosted numerous beginner and intermediate jam classes for musicians across Australia. Greg excels at giving students the skills and confidence needed to be a part of, and to feel welcome at any jam session.

Pete Wernick ("Dr. Banjo", originator of Banjo Camps and Bluegrass Jam Camps) has created a method that has taught thousands nationwide how to enjoy bluegrass jams at their own level. Wernick Method teachers are certified by Pete Wernick based on their knowledge of bluegrass, teaching ability, and proper use of the Wernick Method.

DO YOU QUALIFY? It's easier than you may think! If you play guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, bass, or dobro... you can be part of a bluegrass jam. Only requirements: You must be able to tune your instrument (electronic tuning devices welcome) and change smoothly between G, C, D, and A. (Fiddles and basses need to know which notes work with which chords) Fast playing is not expected, nor is the ability to solo required.

 WHAT SOME OF OUR STUDENTS SAY: "Committed to bringing out the best in everyone." "He is so patient and encouraging." "I have a rekindled enthusiasm and feel confident about my picking future." "Greg is a natural teacher and I have really appreciated his personal touch and encouragement." "I really enjoyed learning to sing harmonies." This year's jam camp in Victoria will once again be held at Phillip Island's The Island Camp. This is a great venue offering single and shared accommodation, wonderful catering and very comfortable meeting rooms.
