Old-time clawhammer banjo is a unique sound in American traditional music. Once you get the basic technique, it's pretty easy to make music, and play along with all kinds of songs. Having started from the very Scratch in the first session this year, Session II will continue on with simple tunes and exploration of tunings of the banjo from the old-time repetoire, reinforcement of the basic music theory that is useful for any instrument, in any genre, and drills that help you solidify your right hand technique. If you've got the bum-diddy and want to know tunes plus more skills for picking up tunes, this class is for you. (Minimum class size 6 students)

*Deering Good Tyme Banjos are available for rent for the session, or sale at a discounted price. Contact evie@evieladin.com if you are interested in renting or purchasing a banjo.
