It’s music at the Museum–wake up your ears, exercise your fingers and play along with us! Musicians and instructors Mary Allsopp and Paul Tyler co-host a Scandinavian Jam at the Swedish American Museum the second Sunday of every month from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Join us for an afternoon of traditional roots music–Scandinavian style–starting with instruction, followed by fika (snack in Swedish) and plenty of time to play old favorites and discover new ones as we jam together. The afternoon begins with new tune instruction, taught in the call and response “aural” tradition. Build a repertoire with the unique tones and unusual rhythms of Scandinavia. Recording devices are encouraged.

Bring your instruments, request your favorites, share a tune, play along on what you can, sit back and listen when you want a break. We are a group of musicians who enjoy spending time together, and would enjoy having you sit in with us!

Schedule:
1-1:45 p.m. Teaching/slow review
1:45-2 p.m. Fika (snack)
2-3:30 p.m. Jam
