So what are some tips to get good, efficient practice in? That's what member PhillipF asked the forum a few weeks back, and the resulting discussion should prove helpful to any and all practicing banjo players. Read the thread >

Howdy y'all, Banjo Ben here! I wanted you to know about my upcoming Cabin Camps, held all over the USA! I've held camps for 6 years now and they just get sweeter & more special.
I love the learning aspect, of course, but my favorite part (and I hear this from many campers) is the community that is built. Cabin Camps are a welcoming place where you can be yourself and become inspired to further your musical journey. I hope to see you in 2025! Scholarships are available, too!

This year's design is inspired by the seminal "Earl Scruggs and the 5-String Banjo" book and its admonition to "learn each exercise well before proceeding to the next one." (The exercises that follow these instructions include repeat x1000 or repeat x100 signs!)
