I will be teaching a beginning bluegrass banjo class at the Summit School of Traditional Music, starting next Thursday, September 21, from 7:00 to 8:00, and continuing for eight weeks. No musical experience needed. We’ll cover all the basics of playing the five-string banjo bluegrass style. Our goal will be to provide the starting skills that will allow players to continue on by themselves. We’ll focus on practical skills and techniques, and no more music theory than we absolutely need. We’ll work together on some well-known bluegrass tunes, and perhaps even a Grateful Dead or Beatles song. If all goes well everyone in the class will be playing some bluegrass at the end of the classes.
