How To Play Music With Others

A One-Day Workshop on Confidence, Groove & Connection

Do you love playing music but mostly play alone?

Have you wanted to jam with others but felt unsure or nervous?

This supportive, hands-on workshop is designed to help you feel more comfortable playing music with other people — no advanced theory, auditions, or pressure required. We’ll focus on the skills that actually make group music work: listening, staying in time, communicating, and building confidence. Mistakes are welcome, and you’ll never be forced to solo unless you want to.

Perfect for beginner to intermediate musicians who want to:

  • Feel less anxious playing with others

  • Improve timing and group awareness

  • Gain real experience in a low-pressure setting

All instruments and styles are welcome. 

Format & Schedule

  • Total length: 7 hours 10am-5pm

  • Includes: 1-hour lunch break with food provided

  • Mix of guided exercises, small-group playing, and full-group activities

  • Plenty of breaks, movement, and time to reset

You’ll leave with practical tools, new confidence, and the experience of having played music with others successfully!

Final Note: You don’t get confident before playing with others, you get confident by doing it, in the right environment. If you’re waiting until you feel “ready” to play with others, this is the workshop that gets you ready.

Looking forward to jamming with you soon!
