Novice/Beginning Clawhammer Banjo with

Gailanne Amundsen

 


 

This class is for people who have little experience playing clawhammer banjo and for people who are looking to improve their basic skills.  Throughout the weekend, we will work on playing the bum-ditty rhythm, how to play chords for a tune or song, and a few favorite old time tunes that would be played in a jam! Gailanne will get you playing quickly with her easy going approach and ability to teach to different learning styles!
