Event

Tony Trischka Workshop

Bluegrass Banjo Workshop

This will be a hands-on workshop, geared for all levels from beginning to advanced. It would be best if you can at least play a few tunes and know some of the rolls.

We'll be covering: ways to improve your timing (and generally achieve a professional sound), playing the syllables (a very important Earl Scruggs concept), back-up ideas, developing solos, and improvisational strategies. We'll also be touching upon melodic and single string styles as well. More advanced topics can covered if people are interested.

In addition to prepared tabs and materials that I want to go through, I strongly encourage student participation. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I encourage you to bring a video or aural recording device.

Most importantly, well have fun while doing this!
