Chatham County JAM education program introduces children (from 3rd to 8th grade) to the music of their heritage through small group instruction in instruments common to the Appalachian and Piedmont regions of North Carolina. Instrument, dance and vocal instruction are augmented by stringband classes providing children opportunities to play and perform in small and large groups. Chatham County JAM strives to make the program accessible to all students by providing free or low cost instrument loans and free or highly subsidized tuition. Field trips, visiting artists and an introduction to the rich history of music unique to local communities help complete our program offerings.
Note: Chatham County JAM is affiliated with Regional J.A.M.

| Our Vision is to provide music education in basic old time string and bluegrass instruments accessible to children regardless of eligibility to pay or own their own an instrument. Our vision is ambitious and by offering classes at a reduced fee, we hope to generate interest in the program that will allow us to move toward our goal. |
