The Jam - Testimonial

"The Jam’s mission states that its purpose is to help teens grow in their passion for music, their creativity and most importantly their value of themselves. The first experience I had with The Jam was on June 25th and was so much different than what I was expecting. It was undeniably better than what I had predicted. Those who know me know that I have trouble getting out of my comfort zone and talking to people I don’t know. At The Jam, I could not help but feel welcomed there and it was like a weight had been taken off my shoulders. The individuals who put the events together are some of the kindest people I have ever met.

As of right now I do not play any musical instruments, and I expected to make me feel as if I was out of my league a little bit, but it didn’t. They taught me a simple three note melody on the piano and taught my younger brother, who I had also brought with me, a few notes on a bass guitar. Overall it was an amazing experience and I cannot wait for the opportunity to go again."
