Scholarships available for bluegrass jam camps

Pete WernickThrough the generosity of some private donors, Pete Wernick is pleased to announce the availability of several scholarships for his 2007 Bluegrass Jam Camps. These camps are open to students of any bluegrass instrument, and designed to help them learn to play together with others in a jam session environment.

The scholarships cover tuition fees only, and are intended for those with limited financial means, to enable them to attend. Like all of Pete’s jam camps, the only qualifications to attend are the ability to tune one’s instrument and change smoothly between G, C, D, and A chords.

Scholarships will be offered for the following camps:

Wilkesboro, NC April 23-26 (pre-MerleFest)
Morehead, KY May 30-June 1 (pre-Bluegrass ‘n More Festival)
Copake, NY July 16-19 (pre-Grey Fox Festival)

Pete asks that scholarship applicants please contact him by email, including the information requested in the registration form for the camp you hope to attend, along with a short statement of interest in attending, and circumstances.
