Ron Block Banjo Workshop app for iPhone and iPad

The Ron Block Banjo Workshop is a banjo instruction app designed for every level. Whether you’ve just bought a banjo, or you’re intermediate, or even if you’re an advanced player, there is plenty of material in the app for you. Ron has been playing banjo for over three decades with Alison Krauss & Union Station and has been encouraging and inspiring students in the U.S. and the U.K. for years.

All material is designed to create a solid foundation and yet enhance your own creativity on the banjo.
