Banjo Tuition
5 String Banjo Tuition from my home teaching studio in Hazel Grove, Stockport, online via Skype/Zoom or in the comfort of your own home via my mobile teaching service..
I teach Absolute beginner to advanced levels. All ages welcome.
You can learn a variety of banjo styles with me: Bluegrass 3 Finger, Old Time 2 Finger, Folk, Frailing, 4 Finger & Classic Banjo.
Most of my banjo students begin learning with me from scratch in bluegrass (3 finger) style - this is the style most commonly associated with the banjo and it's the most popular.
Some higher-level students come to me specifically to learn techniques I invented/popularised (I think!) and have seen me using them in performances or online.
A good banjo player truly stands out in any social or musical situation and learning to play it is a rewarding 'road less travelled' that you won't regret taking.
The general consensus is that the banjo is more difficult than guitar in the early stages but after a few months it becomes easier than guitar to make real progress.
In addition to learning solo banjo music, we will work together to bring your playing to a level and confidence where you can jam with other musicians.
I'm passionate about teaching the banjo in a way which encourages you to partake in real music-making with good technique, musicality and rhythm.
