Clawhammer Banjo 2 (Seward)

This class is for students who have a pretty good grasp on the basic bum-ditty and ditty-ditty patterns, know hammer-ons and pull-offs at least in theory and are working on the drop thumb.

We will learn new songs especially ones that are popular in local jams. We will play in various tunings G, A, D, and C. Each session ends with 30 minutes of playing songs that we know. This helps develop speed and is just plain fun. Please bring a banjo, a tuner and a capo. 

Your instructor, Julie Jao, has been playing Clawhammer Banjo for over 25 years. Her passion for the instrument is contagious, and she’s eager to share the joy of playing with everyone!
