As an absolute beginner I had one week of a Banjo Retreat with Dwight Diller. That was last year.

This year I spent a week at the Augusta Heritage Center doing banjo with Sheila Kay Adams.

I'm making progress slowly on my own. I find it difficult to focus my practices & think regular lessons would help me on this.

I'm currently trying to find a clawhammer banjo teacher, but there don't seem to be any in my area. (Central New York, but too far from Ithaca) I guess I'll stick with the summertime week long sessions.
