OK - I know we are 18 years into the millenium!

I have been re-reading old copies of the Banjo Newsletter (https://banjonews.com/index.html)

Just read through November, 2011. The theme of the articles is as the title of this post suggests. Its chock full of articles by well known players/instructors - about how to instruct, how to learn, etc. Especially useful for us older players/students.

If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and get a subscription - you have access on line to a ton of good information in the on line archives.
