Nova Scotia Banjo Camp
General Information

The Nova Scotia Banjo Camp presented by BanjoTeacher.com is a three-day teaching and jamming event in beautiful Nova Scotia Canada. The event will begin Friday later afternoon and conclude on Sunday afternoon with banjo workshop classes, jams, concerts and other activities. The location is set on the shores of the North Thumberland Strait on the scenic Sunrise Trail, just across the strait from Prince Edward Island.

There will also be a concert open to the public at the Tatamagouche Creamery Square

The curriculum will include class sessions for all students
and each skill level on these subjects and more:

Right and Left Hand Techniques
Backup Playing
Practice Habits and Priorities
Scruggs Style and Keith Style
Up the Neck Work
Jamming with Others
Rhythm and Timing
Playing in Different Keys and Tunings
Playing by Ear and Learning to Play Without Tablature

I want to stress that the workshops will be for all skill levels, this Banjo Camp will not be for just advanced students! In fact many 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.
