This year in adddition to our annual Banjo/Guitar Cruise we are going to join forces with The 11th Annual Bluegrass Cruise with workshops on each instrument.

There is a lot of information about the cruise and workshops on this page and through the links, it may still leave you with lots of questions, please don't hesitate to call our travel agent, ETA for cruise related questions and BanjoTeacher.com for Workshop questions and registrations, we are glad to help.

You can depend on me to always hire dedicated instructors. The instructors will be musicians that are not only masters at their instrument but ones that have extensive experience teaching...... and enjoy it. At my workshop, you absolutley won't get answers from instructors, like... "I'm not sure how I do it".. or faculty members that are disinterested in sharing what they know or lack the ability to explain their craft in a way that is understandable and useful to the student.

Alan Munde our featured instructor is a perfect example of the level of professionalism and ability that will be offered at the workshops on the Cruise. He is considered one of the best banjo players in the world... and is.....but he's also dedicated much of his career to helping others learn the joy of playing. His sincere efforts and dedication to his students is tops and I've been trying to get him on the faculty for the last three years. He just this year retired from being a director of the Bluegrass Program at South Plains College, a college where you can earn a degree in bluegrass music.

Past Instructors for banjo have been. Tom Adams, Janet Davis, Murphy Henry, Casey Henry, Steve Huber, Ned Luberecki, Ross Nickerson, Ian Perry, Tony Trischka, Bob Carlin, , Brad Davis and Clay Hess.

Curriculum

Bluegrass Banjo, Bluegrass Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Dobro, Mandolin, Bass, and Fiddle will include: Workshop Cruise to the Caribbean

This years curriculum is not complete, look over the 2007 schedule to get an idea of what will be offerred.

The workshops for Bluegrass Banjo, Bluegrass Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Dobro, Mandolin, Bass, and Fiddle will include: and Jamming Classes offered for all skill levels, Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced!

I want to stress that the workshops will be for all skill levels, this Bluegrass workshop Camp will not be for just advanced students! In fact most students will be in the beginning and intermediate skill level categories. Any advanced students that attend will also be given special attention with their own class taught to them with their present skill level in mind as well. The classes will be split into students that are close to the same level of proficiency with the instructors rotating to the different groups. This approach will ensure that each student will have an opportunity to work with each instructor with their present skill level in mind. The workshops are about you the student. It is very important to me as the director that you find great benefit in the instruction and leadership of the faculty as well as the class curriculum. Ross Nickerson
