Of the 144 students living at JAM, only a handfull are music majors, but all share a passion for music – whether they avidly listen to their iPods or actively sing or play an instrument in a band.

JAM is a music lover’s dream home, with countless opportunities to perform, listen, share, and collaborate.  The house has a concert stage with lighting and sound, a well-equipped recording studio, practice rooms, and practice instruments (guitar, piano, drums, etc.).  Frequent performances by house bands feature everything from rock, punk, and hip-hop, to house.  A monthly open-mike coffeehouse enables writers, musicians, singer-songwriters, and dancers to perform for the Cornell community.  On the quieter side, there are weekly student-organized Listening Parties, where Jammies sample and discuss every genre you can think of.

There are also many opportunities to perform with campus groups such as the Glee Club, Cornell Chorus, Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensembles, the Big Red Marching Band, and other musical groups throughout the Ithaca community.
