Klezmer Jam

This jam is for all instruments and all levels of experience

A twice-monthly night of musical Yiddishkayt!

Jam out at Klezmer Jam!

We’ll jam on klezmer tunes and sing Yiddish songs together. All ages, abilities, and instruments are welcome! In fact, you don’t even need an instrument, only a voice, ears, or dancing feet. Instrumentalists less familiar with klezmer are encouraged to arrive at the start. We begin each session by either learning the tune-of-the-month or by having a short workshop session. While we have sheet music in many clefs and keys, we encourage learning by ear.

Tunes & Resources

Sheet music is available, but playing by ear is encouraged. We will prioritize playing tunes from our resources folder (linked below), but if you have a tune you’d like to play please call it at the jam! The resources folder also has books of sheet music and other tools, such as klezmer mode tip-sheets and accompaniment guides.
