 How to Jam for Clawhammer BANJO
 with guest Fiddlers!
When: June THURSDAYS  ($30 each or 95 for the 4 part series)
Level:  Intermediate-ish

This INTERMEDIATE  clawhammer banjo class will meet via Zoom  4 THURSDAYS in JUNE 7:00-8:15pm.  The cost of this 4 part series is $95. You may also select individual workshops if you prefer for $30 each. 

​

Learn banjo specific strategies for jamming, variations, and improvisation.  Each class will feature a specific strategy taught in 45 minutes of instruction.  We will take a simple tune each week to focus on, and  expand from there. The class will build from week to week. 

 

The last 30 minutes of each class will involve zooming in a guest fiddler (Brian Slattery, Mia Friedman, Laura Murawski, Becca Wintle &Debra Clifford) who will share their jamming wisdom and experience and play some tunes for you to jam to! I am super excited about this part.  Turns out Zoom is a pretty  unique opportunity to play with awesome fiddlers up close and personal like without fear.
