Learning to play an instrument and acquire musical aptitude can beÌýdifficult, requiringÌýlong-term engagement and motivation to learn about music;Ìý jamming, (musical improvisation), is generally thought to be a skill reserved for the most fluent musicians. Jam StationÌýutilizes various design techniquesÌýso that the musical elements of a jam are more accessible to novice and intermediate musicians. The stationÌýis a 7-by-4 feetÌýrectangular PVC cuboidÌýwithÌýfour instruments craftedÌýfromÌýeveryday materials, situated soÌýthat each member of the jam faces a centrally and vertically oriented neopixel display. Jam Station'sÌýembedded sensors in the instruments triggerÌýcomplex and colorful light displays asÌýcollaboration improves, helping nonmusicians improvise music together.
