An Eight-Week Class with Kyle Tigges
Tuesdays at 7:00pm: 9/15, 9/22, 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/3

Banjo III, or advanced Banjo, is for students who have taken the intermediate Banjo course*, already comfortable with playing, and are ready for more challenging techniques and tunes.

*If you haven't taken intermediate Banjo at Jalopy school of music before applying to this advanced course, please contact farah@jalopytheatre.org before enrolling in this course.

In this 8 week class, we'll explore:
FOUR RHYTHMIC TECHNIQUES:
- Clawhammer, Drop Thumbing, Two-Finger Style, and Pete Seeger's "Basic Strum"
FOUR TUNINGS:
- Open G, G Modal(a.k.a. Sawmill), Double C, and "Last Chance" Tuning

Our goal will be to work towards moving seamlessly from one tuning to next while solidifying a rhythmic and melodic vocabulary to use while learning tunes, playing in jams, and freely improvising.

Despite the rising costs and lower funding streams that are affecting cultural institutions, Jalopy still wants to be a home for everyone seeking to learn and develop their musical practice. Therefore, this semester, we are offering the classes based on a sliding scale, inviting each student to choose a price based on their income level. Those of you who can afford to pay more than the breakeven cost, will be making it feasible for Jalopy to give scholarships to those who cannot afford the courses.

Please note that these numbers are only suggestions, and you are free to pay what feels manageable and appropriate for you based on all your life's circumstances, not just annual income. As usual, you can inquire and apply for financial aid by emailing lynette@jalopytheatre.org.

Sliding Scale Chart based on Annual income:

$0 - $20k / year: scholarship (partial or full depending on availability)

$20k-$30k / year: $300

$30k - $40k / year: $350

$40k -$50k / year: $400

$50k -70k / year: $450

$70k and up: $500
