Song and Exercise Companion

When it comes to learning to play a musical instrument, plectrum banjo or otherwise, there are as many different techniques as there are teachers.

Some teachers believe that the best learning method involves extensive use of scales, drills and other exercises.

Some feel that the only correct way to learn is to play songs - no matter how well - as much as possible, with minimal emphasis on drills and exercises.

There is merit to both learning approaches and most musicians use a combination to master their instruments.
