J. Ben McGrath (he/him)
Hi, my name is Ben and I’m super excited to be part of the Jam Camp team again this year! I love music, I love playing music, and I love seeing what new ideas emerge when people with a mindset come together. Regardless of background or experience, I believe everyone has something musical to contribute.
I’ve been playing drum kit and collaborating in various bands for the better part of 25 years, constantly striving to improve my craft, and I love sharing what I’ve learned along the way. I’m also relatively new to teaching elementary school music, and that experience has further expanded my skills into music theory, pitched percussion, and helping people develop their musical voice.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, I would love to get together at Jam Camp and see what we can learn from each other. I’ll even bring out a few drum kits up into the forest so we can jam with the forest! See you on the Island!
