Alexander JAM began in the spring of 2016 for children at Hiddenite Elementary School, Alexander Christian Academy and Stony Point Elementary. Alexander County is located in the foothills of North Carolina, near Hickory, Lenoir and Morganton. This new JAM program offers multiple sites and is held at the Hiddenite Arts and Heritage Center in Hiddenite, NC on Tuesdays starting at 4 p.m. Classes are offered in clawhammer banjo, fiddle, and guitar. The students will perform this year at the Hiddenite Celebration, Christmas at the Lucas Mansion, and in the spring at RockyFest.
The schedule and forms for registration are available online at their website: www.alexanderjam.org
