This workshop, suitable for tenor banjo as well as mandolin, is led by the founder and longtime leader of Craobh Rua, one of Ireland’s great, world-touring traditional bands. This class is aimed at developing the player’s repertoire, playing the different tune types in sets, adding some ornamentation to the tunes and looks at the rhythm of the reels, hornpipes and jig types in Irish music.
NOTE: The tenor banjo is tuned in the same intervals as the mandolin. This means that both instruments can share music and technique easily.
Schedule a week or two, or three! Or, just sprinkle some classes in between other commitments.
