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 run a bit of a banjo out-reach here in Hazel Grove. I seem to be one of the few banjo specialists in the North West at the moment so I have a real passion for promoting this wonderful instrument.
Absolute beginner to advanced levels. All ages welcome.
I teach both bluegrass and clawhammer banjo - very different styles with completely different right hand techniques. They are both wonderful in their own right and there's no reason why a complete beginner cannot start from scratch in either style.
If a learner shows no preference, I go with the bluegrass style by default as this is the one they are more likely to associate with the instrument.
I also teach intermediate to higher level players various hybrid techniques which I personally use a lot in my performances.
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.
