    Lyle has been great. We have tried a couple other banjo teachers. My son is super ADD and he is patient with him. My son is always excited to come to a lesson. He finally found something he is focused on learning. Maybe it’s the teacher, maybe it’s the Banjo? Either way, I would recommend Lyle.
