Jamming 101 Workshops are flexible in customizing the approach to suit each venue. They work well indoors or outdoors, morning or evening, and are totally self-contained — the venue need only provide the time and place!

More and more festival and music camp directors are agreeing, Jamming 101 is an asset that increases jamming in the camps and attendee enjoyment. The camaraderie and networking that happens in camps that play music together also builds "word of mouth" promotion for the event. 

                Dan Dewayne, Director of the California WorldFest stated:

"Since Sid Lewis and Jamming 101 have been involved in the California WorldFest there's been a tremendous growth in the jamming" 

       More Jamming +Improved Experience = Increased Ticket Sales!!!

It's a formula that major musical events are discovering and sales records are proving. Increase the enjoyment for your event attendees and they will spread the word.

Students of Jamming 101 repeatedly express excitement and gratitude for a "safe" place to jam. Feedback from workshop attendees shows that many of them have begun to follow Jamming 101 to events they would have otherwise not gone to and our crowd of repeat pickers is growing every summer.

Just some of the proven benefits that Jamming 101 creates:

• Word of mouth publicity from exited students which lends to increased ticket sales and new attendees
• Repeat attendees to classes which creates loyalty for festival/event
• Increased interest in music participation, benefiting other workshops at the festival/event
• "Intra-festival" awareness: Jamming 101 fans from other similar events becoming regular ticket buyers at your event
• Overall improved festival experience where festival goers play an active part in making music, not just passive listeners, are more likely to return
