    Live Online 5-String Banjo & Tenor Banjo Lessons

    One weekly half-hour lesson is $37.00. I Teach Bluegrass and Country styles on 5-String Banjo. On Tenor Banjo, I teach Traditional New Orleans Jazz, Country, Folk, and Celtic styles, plus soloing and improvisation. I have played as a sideman in pro Jazz, Irish Folk, and Country bands since the 1980s, teaching thousands of students over a span of more than thirty years! Everyone moves further, much faster, and is more likely to stay engaged by learning from a master teacher with decades of real-world professional experience to share. I will give you what you need to know, in order to take you where you want to go! I hope to hear back from you soon! Thanks, Jeff

    About Jeff B.

    5.0
    (18)
    People study subjects for a great number of reasons, consequently I customize my lessons to each individual student's needs and wants. We learn different ways. Some of us are more visual, some more tactile, some more intuitive, some more cerebral, etc. Understanding this allows me to adapt to each person's most natural mode of learning so that the material is grasped more easily (therefore more quickly), and so that it is retained longer. I would be honored to share my experience and knowledge with you.
