How It Works
These jam sessions will use Zoom's new Live Performance Audio feature, free with the latest release (version 5.14 or later). Download the latest Zoom here. For best results, students should use a computer rather than mobile device. Due to the full duplex sound of Live Performance Audio, participants in the jams should wear headphones. These sessions will not be recorded. Read more about this new feature.
Once enrolled, Lessonface will send you a confirmation email, and then a reminder 24 hours before the jam session, with join link to take you into the Zoom session. Join from your email or log into Lessonface and join from your dashboard. Register on Lessonface to access class materials and discussion.
Teacher Location
Takoma Park, MD
The jam will be online, taking advantage of the new Zoom's Live Performance Audio feature, which minimizes latency between participants. The instructor's location is mentioned so students may opt to join a jam that's geographically close, if possible, in order to seek lower latency times. All are welcome to join.

Justin Heath
I've been performing and teaching guitar, banjo, and mandolin in the DC area and online since 2012. I play guitar and Banjo with the bluegrass band Cherry Blossom Special. In my own playing I've mostly pursued Bluegrass, classical and jazz but I love helping students reach their own goals regardless of style.
