BEGINNING BANJO 

Learn the entire score of O Brother Where Art Thou, if you want to. In this 5-string class, you, the student, get to pick and choose the tunes as Fred introduces you to all kinds of banjo music: bluegrass, old-time, blues, Beatles, whatever! All the chords, strums and picking patterns you need. You'll be playing tunes at the first class.

Fred Sokolow   6:30-8 pm  Wednesdays, Jul 14-Aug 18 (6 sessions)   $150

BASIC BLUEGRASS JAMMING WORKSHOP 

  • Understanding, low-pressure, experienced teaching by Pete and Joan Wernick ("Dr. and Nurse Banjo").
  • Group and individualized instruction on backup techniques.
  • Ground rules and etiquette; play many bluegrass standards,
  • In over 50 camps, we've taught hundreds to jam. You can too!
  • You must be able to tune your instrument with an electronic tuning device, and change smoothly between G, C, D, and A.
  • Fast playing is not expected, nor is the ability to solo required.

This class is limited to 15 students. Pre-enrollment is highly recommended.
