Courses description

Learn the 5-string banjo from scratch. Covering all Bluegrass styles including Scruggs, melodic and single-string, (no clawhammer/frailing) your teacher will get you plucking right away and help you master the basics of these popular banjo styles. You will learn many bluegrass banjo standards, and explore accompanying others, composing, and improvising, all of which will prepare you for getting out and playing at Bluegrass sessions and concerts of your own.

Ben Duff has played and taught banjo for 12 years and been a music teacher since 1989! He will provide you with plenty of standard banjo tips and tricks, plus some that he has invented, discovered, or been taught by others over the years.

Bring your banjo, let's tune up, and let's get banjoing!
