Anni Beach has opened up her home to anybody that wishes to learn how to an instrument. For the past 15 years, she has formed a bluegrass band known as Jam Pak. This group literally paks into her home every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and is filled with music, laughter, and friendships. In the beginning, she had a band of six kids and the purpose was to keep them out of harms way in the harsh environment they lived in. Now, it has grown to not only keep these kids outside of gangs and other bad influences, but also provides happiness to other Arizona residents through the entertainment of music. Since 1994 the Jam Pak Blues 'N' Grass Neighborhood Band has been meeting weekly in Anni Beach's home in Chandler, Arizona. Band members, ages 5 - 90 practice singing and playing traditional bluegrass, gospel and old time music. It's been thrilling to see the progress of various children who, with no particular musical background, have taken to bluegrass music and can play, sing,
