This class is geared toward players who already have a modest repertoire of tunes and would like to (a) increase that repertoire, (b) learn to play more rhythmically and with more "drive", (c) improve their ability to pick up tunes by ear in jam situations, and (d) play "with" rather than "next to" other musicians.   We'll also take a look at the mechanics of your playing and (since you'll probably be playing banjo for a lifetime!) identify some ways to reduce physical stresses and avoid injury. While I often play the lead melody in my band, my banjo style is mostly all about the drive and groove.   My plan is to work on many of the tunes being taught by the Old-time Week fiddle instructors, which should lead to lots of common ground during the evening jams.
