Merry Time Music Co. is pleased to present a Clawhammer Banjo Workshop with Bruce Molsky.

We’ll dig into right hand clawhammer banjo techniques, from simple frailing and drop thumb to different kinds of rolls, and left hand moves as well. We’ll see how they’re used to create melody, move chords and get that all-important rhythmic pulse under the music. You’ll come out with a few more tunes as well as some general ideas about picking up tunes out of the air and setting them on your instrument.

All ages and levels are welcome! If you have just a few tunes under your belt or a lot, you should find some useful techniques and resources to help elevate your playing.  

Participants are free to film or record any parts of the lessons. We ask that you do not post recordings on social media.

*Accessibility: Regrettably, accessing our loft is restricted to using stairs and is therefore not accessible for those who require a mobility aid. For those with allergies we also have a (very small, cute, but still allergenic) dog.
