How to stay motivated learning the banjo

There is no universal method of teaching that is best for everyone. Every human being learns in different ways. Each of us responds differently to input and for this reason. Some people need a teacher in order to learn something and some people can teach themselves.

There are some very good instructional materials on the market for teaching yourself the banjo. These include instructional books, CDs and DVDs for learning bluegrass banjo, clawhammer banjo and tenor banjo.

Another way to learn and keep motivated is to attend banjo workshops. There are many across the US each year. It's great to meet others in the same boat you are in the learning process.

There are many discussion groups on the internet that are also valuable in keeping inspired and motivated. Banjo Buddies is a friendly discussion group mainly made up of folks learning later in life.

The main thing is to realize if you have the desire to learn the banjo you can learn the banjo. We all have our different goals in doing this. Read "Silver Strings" for inspiring stories of folks learning the banjo later in life for the first time.

Have fun and keep on pickin'
