Jam Session at
Bernunzio Uptown Music
Third Thursday of the Month
I lead a jam session on the third Thursday
of the month at Bernunzio Uptown Music from 7:00 - 8:30
in the evening. It is a guided session geared towards
beginning and intermediate level students. Even folks
who only know a few songs can participate. There is no
sheet music involved, so newcomers can follow along with
chords and absorb the music by ear. Bernunzio Uptown
Music is located at 122 East Avenue in Rochester
(map). Parking is available in the East
End Garage, which has entrances on Scio St. and Swan St.
off of East Avenue.
The repertoire played at the jam session is made up of
songs taught in my private studio. The beginning of the jam
focuses on basic songs, with the repertoire getting more
advanced towards the end of the jam. Here is a list of
songs that the jam session will draw from, from basic to
more advanced. The key that we are most likely to play it
in is also given.
