Hi, I'm looking for someone to teach me tenor banjo near Old Bridge, NJ. I'm willing to go up to 25miles away. I took a handful of lessons 15 years ago so I'm really a complete beginner. I'll take any leads or contacts, if you know someone who'd be interested. Thank you.

Fred Sokolow workshop anyone?

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:24:08 CST

I am lucky enough to be the newly moved in girlfriend of Fred, and as most of you probably know, he has many many banjo instructional books and dvd's out there ie: Fretboard Roadmap series, complete bluegrass banjo, ragtime arrangements, etc.. (Fredsokolow.com) as well as being a long time teacher at McCabes here in Santa Monica CA. I'm trying to help him get out there and give some master classes around the country ( he did one in London last year! and also taught at Kaufman's Kamp this last summer) If anyone could lend me some help in putting this together, I'd love to hear from you. He is an amazing teacher , and a lot of fun ( no..I 'm not biased!) Many Many Thanks to this wonderful banjo community Lynn

Hi all, I am new to the site, I am looking for someone to teach me the 5 string banjo. I havent bought my Banjo yet but would like to see first if I will be able to learn. I am 50 so learning something new like the Banjo will not be an easy task. I drive a london style cab so the Idea is to take My Banjo out to work with me, and when Im not busy I can practice to my heart's content. I went to the Opera the other night, They dont like it when you join in do they?

At the end of many exercises in the Earl Scruggs Book he writes either the number 100 or 1000 above the upper staff. Anyone know what this means? frank shaw

Teaching through Skype and webcam

eric@banjohangout.org — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:56:44 CST

Distance doesn´t have to be a problem: I teach beginning banjo players with the aid of Skype and a webcam. Sometimes there's a little delay in image and sound, but it works just fine! It's worth a try!! Kind regards, Fred Hissink

Hey guys my name is Micah Spence. I have been playing clawhammer banjo since I was about 12 years old. I'm only twenty years old but thats 8 years at this point so I know my way around a five-string. I am a music Education Major at East Tennessee State where I am also involved in the old time music program. I welcome all ages and experience levels. I play clawhammer for most everythingbut I am also versed in other oldtime styles such as up-picking, Kentucky two-finger (thumb lead), and a three finger Charlie Poole chordal style that I usually reserve for the mind twisting rags that modulate all over. If you or someone you know is searchng for an old time banjo teacher in the Tri-Cities area please feel free to contact me. I can be reached at 404-281-5802. Thanks!

I can play a little but need someone that has the patience of Jobe to get me over the block. I've been at it for years but just not quite there. I live in Alamo, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. So am looking for an instructor or player that can help me out.

Looking for a clawhammer instructor in N. Michigan

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 06:06:27 CST

Does anyone know of a clawhammer banjo teacher in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula? They wouldn't even need to be a professional teacher - an experienced player willing to give a few lessons would be great. I am teaching myself banjo, and I think I've done all right, but I know I'd get a lot out of a few one-to-one sessions with a good clawhammer player. Mary "Do not pray for an easy life.

Great idea

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 04:08:44 CST

I think that it's a great idea to have a teachers area at the banjo hangout. Teachers as well as students can find out a lot about their instrument and music. Don. O=='=(::} http://www.doncouchie.com

Listing teachers who teach online

eric@banjohangout.org — Fri, 29 May 2009 04:45:09 CST

I was looking at the different postings from teachers who are willing to teach online lessons. What do you think about a section somewhere on the site where instructors who are willing to give online, one on one, lessons. This would help those in search of lessons who don't have an instructor near where they live. scott You mean I really have to use three fingers?
