Banjo lessons the old time way
If you’re looking for that folksy sound, look no further than the banjo! The banjo is a wonderful folk instrument which is compatible with so many different types of music. However, a lot of people try to learn banjo in a way it was never intended to be learned, through tabs.
In the old days banjo was learned like a language, through listening and imitation. My banjo lessons in Winnipeg give you the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of banjo from the ground up, building a solid foundation that will allow you not only understand old time and folk banjo from the inside out, but also play whatever type of music you want!
Banjo lessons that give you freedom
Music is a language, and needs to be taught like a language. Too many banjo teachers in Winnipeg give students a few songs to play, but never give them the ability to express themselves. This is as if when you were learning to speak you were given certain words to say, and then corrected when you said them wrong! Would you have ever learned to speak?
Instead, my banjo lessons allow you the freedom to explore, even from the very beginning. Improvisation and songwriting are used as a tool to instill a deeper and more intuitive understanding of music – just like a language!
Structured and methodical banjo lessons
Although my banjo lessons are responsive to your needs, that doesn’t mean they’re random!
In my banjo lessons I take a step by step approach, breaking down techniques and concepts into their fundamental elements, allowing you to build your skills and musicality in a structured way.
So in my banjo lessons you’ll learn all the foundational elements of banjo playing, including:
-Strumming
-Chords
-Fingerpicking
-Improvisation/Jamming
-Technique
-Playing by ear
-Music theory
I can even include songwriting and basic recording techniques to create your own music. If you have a specific skill or aspect of music you want to explore, let me know!
Students also receive video practice routines, recorded at the end of the banjo lesson to help reinforce concepts that we’ve explored in the lesson.
Banjo lessons for all ages and experience levels
I offer banjo lessons for children as young as 6.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, or have been playing for years, my banjo lessons in Winnipeg will help you unlock your creativity and gain you a deeper understanding of your instrument and music as a whole!
