For intermediate/advanced players. Build a collection of “Sing and Play” songs with Chord Melody Arrangements. We’ll sing and play songs like: I Want To Be Happy, Just Because, Ja-Da and more. Players need to be comfortable with Barre Chords. Bring a recording device to class.

This class will focus on Tenor Banjo philosophy. We’ll play chords and chord inversions, connecting them up and down the fingerboard, learn the note names, identify chord tones and play songs from Traditional Tenor Banjo Styles including Ragtime, Blues and New Orleans Jazz. We will NOT play Flight Of The Bumblebee. Bring a recording device to class, and your CGDA-tuned tenor banjo.

Band Camp is truly a unique and wonderful experience, and registrations are limited to help provide an intimate and in depth educational experience. It’s also a lot of fun. Our goal is to provide you with exciting challenges by learning to be in a band, playing together and taking risks. This can happen more easily if you have a solid foundation.
