More Than A Club
What is Jam Club Junior?
During my sophomore year at Santa Susana High School, I created a club for musicians called "Jam Club". It became a place where artists of all genres, backgrounds, and grades could come together to play modern music. We began performing all over Simi Valley, playing all original arrangements written by me. Over the past three years, we've become a family, connected by music, but inspired by each other. For my senior project, I decided to share this amazing club with more of Simi's youth. Jam Club Junior was a six-week program at the Simi Valley Boys and Girls Club. Meeting twice a week, club members were taught about their favorite artists, able to jam along with mentors provided by Jam Club, and were exposed to local bands and artists who made guest appearances throughout the program. Jam Club Junior culminated in an hour-long concert on March 9th where everyone was able to feel like a rock star. All in all, my goal for this project was to show kids that music is more than just a hobby, and a club can be so much more than a club.
