MUSE Members Monthly Jam

Come to the MUSE Members Monthly Jam session! Get to know other MUSE members in the NYC area and gather to make music in this casual jam-sess! HOW IT WORKS: 1. Everyone shows up with your instrument(s) or voices! (the studio will provide keys, amps, and drums) 2. Meet, greet, and snacks! 3. There will be a hat full of song titles (popular songs and musical theater) 4. Draw from the hat - the whole group attempts to play/sing through the song together 5. Cycle around to other instruments / mingle FAQ: What is MUSE? - MUSE is an organization committed to creating diversity within the music departments of the theatre industry by providing access, internships, mentorships, and support to historically marginalized people of color. I'm a MUSE member, but I'm not a great instrumentalist–can I still come and just vibe? - Of course! The purpose of this hangout is to meet each other! However, we highly encourage you to participate...even if that's just singing along, playing on your recorder from elementary school, or a kazoo. What if 12 trumpet players show up? - Fight to the death! Jk. We'll have a very fun very trumpet-y jam session. What if multiple keyboardists show up? - In the past, I've hosted one where we had 4 keys players. I put out two different keyboards (one on synth) and people rotated in shifts! The breaks are also a great way for people to get to know each other. What if we don't know the song? - We'll try to populate the hat with very well-known songs, but we can skip songs if not enough people know them. Why is there a waiting list? - Unfortunately, the studio only can seat 25 people (plus, a 50-person jam session would be HIGHLY chaotic). Spots will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis...pls be sure to update your RSVP if you can no longer attend! Any other questions? Reach out to Julia at jhriew@gmail.com :)
