Attention JAM students in Western North Carolina! You are invited to a Traditional Music Performance Workshop for Youth. Please spread the word to any young people who would be interested. This workshop is for youth who are performing mountain heritage music and would like to learn more about stage presence. Should you look at the audience? Should you tell a story or just play? How the heck do you use those microphones? How do you choose something to perform? Remember to smile. Judy Rhodes...

Howdy everyone! The staff at the Regional JAM, Inc office would like to thank all of our affiliated programs for this 2012-2013 school year. The JAM program model continues to sprout wings and fly, and we can congratulate 22 different programs throughout Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina this year for providing traditional music education to youth throughout the mountains and beyond. Give a big round of applause to: Alleghany JAM Ambler Elementary YAM AR Lewis Elementary YAM Ashe...

hint: watch the falling microphone! Ms. White shows that she can still get down!
