We will learn a klezmer melody together, using some combination of singing, listening and playing, theory and notation, balancing tradition with practicality. Additionally, we will learn to "jam", to improvise, in a klezmer style. Be prepared to loosen up, and have a lot of fun!

RSVP to jams[at]klezcalifornia.org and specify event date/city, your name, instrument, and any questions. Or just show up!
