Beginning Banjo
Lifelong Learning

What do Steve Martin, Rhiannon Giddens, and Taylor Swift have in common? They all play the banjo! Thought to have evolved from similar instruments on the African continent, the banjo has become a mainstay of contemporary American music. In this class, you'll focus on the basics as you learn a variety of tunes and styles. Strum, pick, and pluck your way through this engaging class. No experience needed. You must bring your own instrument as well as a banjo strap, finger picks and tuner.
