John Kirk

Beginning, intermediate, or advanced group/individual lessons on the five-string banjo in either claw-hammer/frailing or 3-finger style. Students will learn to play using simple song sheets with chords, tablature, and standard notation. Using chord theory and scale work, lifelong personal musicmaking skills will be enhanced. Awareness of traditional styles of playing the instrument will be furthered through a listening component and ensemble playing with other instrumentalists. Student will be expected to perform at Music Workshop, or as part of a concert, in ensemble and/or solo. Students must have their own instrument. Depending on scheduling, these will be individual or group lessons.
