Learn to play the banjo in a fun and supportive class designed for adults. Old time Clawhammer Banjo is played by hitting down on the strings with the back of the fingernail usually followed by a strum of all the strings and a pluck on the fifth with the thumb. This class will introduce the basic bum-ditty stroke, hammer ons, pull offs and slides. No experience necessary. Bring your banjo and let’s make music!
