makin' music

Green Mountain Old Timers is going to be a casual group of musicians who are either brand new to their entrustments and want to learn in a friendly atmosphere, or seasoned players who want to jam and network with other locals who share their love of mountain music. I'm trying to start up this group as someone in the middle of these two types of people. I've been playing fiddle and dulcimer for a few years, making me a little beyond a beginner but certainly far from seasoned with a lot to learn. But I feel confident and comfortable getting other started on their own paths as music makers and feel I can introduce the fiddle, dulcimer, banjo and other like instruments to new players in an easy to understand and comfortable way.

Group lessons, private lessons, music festivals, trips to the smoky Mountains, concerts and more are all in store for the Vermonters, New Yorkers, and anyone else interested in picking up a fiddle and playing a few songs on their front porches. The real point is to teach without making time or finances and issue to the students, and to keep a style of music alive for generations to come. Please comment, or email me at jenna@itsafarwalk.com if you would like to know more about lessons, events, or anything else related to mountain music here in the green ones.
