Are You Ready to Join the Jamming 101 Team?

Jamming 101 Workshop

There are many people having skills in both entertainment and education but few who have the insight to seek out career opportunities containing both. If you are reading this, you may be that rare person. Welcome to what we believe is the best synthesis of entertainment and education yet: Jamming 101!

 

The best Jamming 101 Workshop Leaders are often public teachers whose entertaining personalities are underappreciated or entertainers wanting a more stable income. With Jamming 101’s unique concept of “Edutainment” we can tap into our naturally humorous personalities to coat the pill of educating.

 

Workshop Leaders will find they can finally be themselves; that person who cracks jokes, tells timeless stories at social gatherings, joins a campfire sing-a-long, or loves to share stories of memorable performances. Musicians are always validated by being asked about their craft, so being surrounded by a circle of attentive fans is very fulfilling.

 

For myself, seeing the face of a first time jammer light up at one of my workshops as they fit in for the first time is food for my soul. Not to wax philosophical, but regardless of ones beliefs, people generally agree that being truly happy involves receiving prosperity from what you naturally enjoy doing. Jamming 101 is perfect for the store manager who daydreams of the stage, the guitarist struggling by with small gigs or the music teacher who has lost their classroom. All these people deserve to have their talents recognized that go unappreciated at their day jobs. As long as these dreams cause frustration and are unfulfilled those folks may never be truly happy.

 

If you believe that you, the frustrated teacher or the starving musician, may have have found that path in Jamming 101, then we welcome you to the recognition and prosperity you deserve!

 

The Jamming 101 Opportunity

 

 There are 6 Qualities that make Jamming 101 an Outstanding Opportunity:

  1. New Idea (little competition & management opportunities)
  2. Rewarding (follow your creative path & be rewarded)
  3. Easy (be yourself!)
  4. Safe (no large investment)
  5. Quick to start
  6. Financially Unlimited

It's a reality that we all have to keep the bread on the table. Most of us don’t have the luxury of time or money to invest in huge new career ideas. That’s where Jamming 101 is different: start small, teach a couple of workshops on weekends and augment your income in a few hours. No big commitment, no change in your current occupation. I did both for awhile, then when the workshops really took off I was able to cut back on my “real job.” Eventually the workshops were so much more fun, and half the time commitment that the decision was ridiculously simple: Jamming 101 full time!

 

Now, looking back over my “trail of careers” before Jamming 101, I can see certain qualities I was always looking for in my work, and I trust some will ring familiar: smaller time commitment, better money for the time, more fun work environments (outside!), more control  (no boss!) and closer to my personal interests (Jamming!). News flash: Jamming 101 encompasses all of these!

 

Picture yourself in a sunny meadow, surrounded by happy people with musical instruments. You spend two or three hours of song and laughter with your new friends, then spend the rest of your day in a lawn chair with a beverage of choice.... Sound like a vacation? No, it’s not; it’s your new job! I remember looking around me several years ago at a workshop in Yosemite, California (Strawberry Music Festival) and thinking “This is my new office! Wow!”

 

We are currently training new instructors and accepting applications for new trainee's,

and are seeking motivated individuals with musical ability and outgoing, people-oriented personalities. In particular, we are looking for intereted folks in Oregon, Nevada, and the surrounding states.

If you are intrigued by any of this, please feel free to call us (530-894-2526) or email us here at the site for more information.

 

We're new, we're fun, and we're growing by leaps and bounds...become part of the Jamming 101 team and open the door to new musical adventures!
