I am trying to learn the Jumbie Jam at the age of 79 having had no previous musical training. I am finding the CD provided in the Song Book particularly useful, as I hope to learn without needing lessons. This is early days as I have been learning for only a week. Even though my practice sessions are only about 15 minutes, I find them quite tiring but I expect this will get better as I progress.
