Continuing Clawhammer Banjo (Seward)


Adult Enrichment / Music & Performance -
Adult Enrichment Spring 2026

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.
