Ready to take your clawhammer banjo playing to the next level? This 5-session class is designed for players who already have a grasp of the basics—bum-ditty rhythm, drop-thumbing, and a few simple tunes—and are ready to expand their skills and repertoire.
We'll focus on developing smoother technique, increasing speed and precision, and learning tunes that introduce more advanced elements like alternate string pull-offs, hammer-ons, and melodic phrasing. Students will also explore tunings beyond open G, learn strategies for playing with others, and gain tools for continued self-guided learning.
Bring your banjo (preferably with a scoop), a recording device or notebook, and be ready to play. Tablature will be provided, but playing by ear will be encouraged and supported.
Whether you're aiming to jam with others, play solo, or dive deeper into old-time music, this class will help you build confidence and keep the momentum going.
Julie has played Clawhammer banjo for many years and is passionate about building a local community of players to share the music. While much of her musical journey began solo, her recent focus on advanced study and participation in local jams has inspired her to teach. She aims to help students discover the unique versatility of the banjo, guiding them through the blend of melody and rhythm that defines the Clawhammer style.
