    Learn 5-String Banjo from an experienced teacher with 23 + years experience! Scruggs or Clawhammer!

    My teaching method is based on creating a non-intimidating, fun, patient environment for the student. I work to gauge each students needs and personal learning style, and focus on giving encouragement as well as tips and techniques to move forward fast. The important thing is to make it simple and fun so the joy of music comes through early on! I feel strongly on focusing on the students short-term and long-term goals to facilitate student mastery.
