Watch Evie Ladin’s Clawhammer Banjo Workshop: Techniques for Singing and Playing, From April 2026
By: Dan Gabel
April 19, 2026
Our Clawhammer Banjo instructor, Evie Ladin, recently hosted a live Zoom workshop called “Techniques for Playing and Singing.” In this workshop, Evie shows how to create a foundation on the banjo for singing (your own or someone else’s) using rhythmic devices, the basic bum-ditty pattern, drop-thumb techniques, pull-offs, hammer-ons, and more. She uses songs like “I’ll Fly Away” and “The Blackest Crow” to demonstrate these concepts, as well as some helpful vocal techniques.
