Montgomery County JAM began in 2018 by a group of community leaders from Montgomery County Tourism, Montgomery County Museum, Ignite College, and local musicians and parents. It is held after school for approximately 25 children on Monday afternoons at the Montgomery Museum of Art and History, and is available for children in grades 4-8. The program teaches fiddle, clawhammer banjo, guitar, bass, and dulcimer, and offers a variety of enrichment activities as well.

Field trips, performances by visiting traditional artists, and student performances are a vital part of the JAM philosophy, which stresses that traditional music is to be played together and shared with the community.

MJAM is a program of the Montgomery Museum of Art & History, and is supported in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Admission is free. Donations welcome.

The Prices Fork Grange is located at 4248 Prices Fork Road in Blacksburg, VA.
