Do you love the sound of a banjo? In this six-week program you will learn two styles of banjo playing. And then you will learn an old style playing called up-picking. We will familiarize ourselves with chords, reading tablature and rhythm. Because this is an easy style of playing, it is a great lead-in to the bluegrass/three-finger/Earl Scruggs style, which we will work on the last three weeks of class. We will learn basic roll patterns and some familiar, popular tunes in both styles! You will need to provide your own banjo. No prior musical experience is required.
There is a $10 materials cash fee payable to the instructor at the start of the class.
