NOVEMBER 4, 2022 JANIE’S NEWSLETTER! 

Greetings friends and family!Wow!! I can't believe we are almost done with 2021. Whew! I hope you all are doing well, making plans for the future and getting vaccinated, boostered and maintaining safe COVID protocols for your family, friends and community. The Fall has been busy for me with an influx of new students here in my hometown of STAUNTON, VA as well online with folks around the world! I just love helping people learn how to have fun playing and to meet others in this great music community we enjoy.

My band, Beverley Street had some great Fall shows and workshops too, including last weeks LIVE performance on WTJU Radio Concert OFFBEAT ROADHOUSE.
Here is a link to the concert in its entirety (Music starts around 8 minutes!)

I am especially excited to be planning for many IN PERSON Janie's Jumpstart Weekends for 2022. Ateendee's will be required to be fully vaccinated PLUS booster. Other COVID safety protocols will be in place as well regarding ventilation, masking and more as needed.I was also recently nominated and accepted a place on the MUSIC CAMPS NORTH Board of Directors. I have been teaching at Music Camps North (Banjo Camp and Jam Camp) for many years and I look forward to working with this fine group to continue putting on the best music camp experience possible for campers and teachers alike!
