The weekend runs Friday, June 21 at 5pm thru Sunday, June 23 at 3pm. I'll be teaching fiddle this weekend.

This session runs from Sunday, June 16 at 5pm thru Friday, June 21 at 3pm.

I'll be teaching a mountain dulcimer class this week! 

The weekend begins at 5pm Friday, and runs until 3pm Sunday. I'll be teaching cello this weekend.

This month's band is Don and Cindy Roy & Pam Weeks, w/ Bill Olson calling!

I will be teaching a bunch of workshops at this unique weekend. Focusing on progressing traditional musicians, the event will cover everything from trad Cape Breton fiddle and piano styles, to Cajun fiddle, and things like how to create a house concert series, a contradance series, or a "sacred music circle" (similar to a Quaker meeting, and people rise to offer a contemplative tune or song, often easy for others to join in on). 

My workshops will include:

Learning By Ear

How to Decipher the "Dots" (music reading skills)

Cajun Fiddle

Phalanges Pilates/Healthy Hands (keeping your body healthy, stretches, technical exercises, discussion oriented on healthy habits to keep playing your instrument as long as possible)

Sacred Fiddle Circle

and more!

I will be performing here with T-Acadie and Jimmyjo & the Jumbol'ayuhs. Stay tuned for details!

It's Tuesday, and it's Mardi Gras! In place of our usual Mini-concert/Jam session we (T-Acadie) are offering a Cajun music concert/session with our friend Mitch Reed. Originally from Scott, LA, Mitch has played with many Cajun bands, including Charivari and Beausoleil. Mitch moved to Maine a few years ago, and we are thrilled that he can join us for Mardi Gras!

You can join us by going to Pam's FB page (www.facebook.com/pam.weeks.73). If you don't see the video right away, scroll down to the news feed and it should be the top post.

NOTE THE TIME CHANGE! We usually start our jams earlier, but to accommodate Mitch's schedule on Tuesday we are starting later and will be streaming from 317 Community Music Center in Yarmouth, Maine.
