Beginning Clawhammer Banjo with Leela Grace
Always wanted to play the banjo? Now is the time! All you need is a 5-string banjo and an internet connection.
Get that banjo out from under the bed and learn how to play clawhammer style from scratch! We'll start with the basics of how to hold and tune the banjo and then move quickly into mastering the clawhammer/frailing strum and left hand techniques. Utilizing by-ear learning, clear, step-by-step instruction, and time for individual coaching, we'll have fun discovering how to wrangle this amazing instrument!
Join in from anywhere in the world! The class will meet virtually via Zoom and each session will be recorded. If the live class time doesn't work for you, you can still sign up and receive access to the full video of each week's class, as well as supporting handouts and audio files.
By the end of 7 weeks, you should be comfortable with the basic strum, adept at simple chord changes, know how to do hammer-ons, slides, and pull-offs, and even have a few tunes in your repertoire!
Students ages 12 and up are welcome in this class. Please contact Leela about younger students.
Note: The class will be limited to 20 participants. Pre-registration is required. Questions? Send an EMAIL to [email protected]
