Jared is an incredibly patient and easygoing teacher! He taught me how to play banjo — I went from not even knowing how to hold the instrument to being able to read tabs, write my own parts and play some songs, too. I did not give him much to work with, since I have no other music experience, so he accomplished a lot!

Jared was my banjo teacher through Bantam Studios. He did a great job of keeping the lessons fresh each week and really developing our abilities. He was able to provide feedback in a way that felt helpful but not critical. If you are looking for a banjo teacher this is the best person for the job.

Jared was my teacher in a beginner's banjo class. He was patient and clear with his instructions, making sure that everyone in the class really understood what they were doing. He was also willing to take feedback, which I think is a sign of a great teacher. I'd absolutely recommend him.

Jared is awesome! I was very nervous going into my first banjo lesson, but Jared put all my worries to rest. He’s incredibly patient and communicates direction well. I always left the lesson feeling energized and excited to get home and practice. I would definitely recommend Jared to anyone hoping to further hone their banjo skills.
