TENOR Banjo - Collette Campbell / Celine Donoghue
WHEN: MONDAY 7.30pm - 9.30pm CLASSROOM: Monday Rooms Originally we had a single Tenor Banjo class for both new Banjo players and people who wanted to improve their exisiting skills. We now have sufficient numbers to run 2 classes, which helps match skills to learning and to keep a reasonable student to tutor ratio. Collette Campbell will teach beginners and Celine Donoghue the improvers. |

5-String Banjo – Beginner - Garry McFadden
WHEN: Monday and Wednesday 7.30pm - 9.30pm CLASSROOM: Monday / Wednesday This class will be aimed at BEGINNER level 5-string banjo. As the 5-string banjo is primarily an American instrument, Garry will teach "Scruggs" (‘Duelling Banjos’ /‘Foggy Mountain Breakdown) style. Though the class is aimed at Beginner level, the class will look at melodic "Keith" style, single-string "Reno" style and a 5-string approach to Celtic traditional tunes. The class will be fun and informative. (Guitarists may find banjo easy to adapt to - there are some similarities between the instruments). Due to increased popularity, Garry has 2 classes, running on Monday and Wednesday. Please double check which class you are attending. |
