Jam tunes

Hello! Welcome to the Jam tunes page!
Here you'll find chord charts, lyrics, and some written-out harmonies for you to practice with and print to bring along to our jams.
For the tunes that can be found on FiddleQuest, click on the tune title to go straight to the FQ webpage for that song. 

(K) = Kid's Jam tunes
(M) = Mature students' Jam tunes

Beside each tune, I list the following different musical activities/roles that I hope to encourage as we're doing the tune together.
  • PLAY (melody and/or harmony)
  • SING (sometimes not playing violin and singing instead- optional!)
  • ACCOMP (short for accompaniment, meaning play chords and rhythm)
  • IMPRO (improvisation)​
Happy playing and I'm looking forward to jamming with you soon!
