I recently posted this ad on Craigslist: I'm a keyboard player, suburban dad, 40, formerly a touring musician now a computer nerd. I want to play music regularly but I don't want that music to be from the 50's and 60's. I also can't join your band and start touring (as much fun as that would be). I am searching for a gig that has the following characteristics: - competent musicians - this means that you know how to play, can pick up tunes by ear and are comfortable just sitting down and jamming …

We are a group of composers of original electronic music in North Jersey. We get together to socialize, workshop music, collaborate, and jam. Most of us use Ableton's Live, but whatever you can jam on is welcome as long as it fits the theme of electronic (digital/analog) live music. We are not generally DJ's because we are the ones producing the music in the first place and our focus is on original tunes and spontaneous creation.

Get together with other like-minded musicians, any level. Meet and perform together on all types of acoustic music; roots, traditional, folk, bluegrass, old-timey, Americana, whatever songs the group brings for the night. Mostly, its to have fun and play in a relaxed atmosphere.

Shirah is a non-auditioned choir dedicated to quality amateur performance of Jewish music.

You have to be able to sing the music before you can truly hear it and play it. Sight singing is the art of singing from notated music using Solfege (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, etc.) It is the ultimate ear training. It provides musicians with the keys to a rich musical vocabulary . It is a great way to learn sight reading. It is a great way to study rhythm. Beginners or veterans are welcome. Let's sight sing together!
