Multi-Award Winning Banjo Player Teaches Via Internet
The power of technology has removed physical distance as a roadblock for fans who wish to learn from their musical heroes. Banjo master Kristin Scott Benson is among the well-known artists who offer music lessons to students worldwide via the online service, Skype.
Before Kristin and her husband, (Wayne Benson, mandolin player for IIIrd Tyme Out), began giving online lessons from their home in the Carolinas, they were admittedly skeptical about the prospect.
“I think that lessons in-person are always ideal, but we’ve been amazed with how successful the Skype lessons can be.”
Since offering the original “banjo camp” in 1984, Pete “Dr. Banjo” Wernick has conducted nearly a hundred of them, hosting over 1,500 students from around the world.
In January 2013 he will host his 29th annual winter camps at the Boulder Inn in Boulder, Colorado.
The camp consists of three “full-immersion” weeks: Basic Skills, Intermediate, and Advanced. Complete information is found on www.DrBanjo.com.
