Review by Dennis
"Gina is an amazing musician and teacher. I have been taking online lessons with her for over two years and am very pleased with the progress I have made.
In large part due to her teaching expertise. Obviously there is no substitute for diligent practice but it helps to have a skilled teacher to guide you on your learning journey. Gina is a patient listener who aligns her teaching to my goals while recognizing my growing competency . Gina always inspires me to take my playing to the next level and she charts the learning path to get there. I highly recommend Gina !"

Review by Rick
"Mike is truly a patient, excellent teacher & communicator. He totally understands my needs and limitations, and always finds a way to address them and the
reby helps me move forward. I am absolutely confident that in the very near future I will be able to play the banjo and be able to jam with others - and I attribute all of that to Mike and his approach. My only regret is that I didn't meet him 17 years ago when I first moved to the area and decided to learn to play the banjo. I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone - he loves to play and he loves to teach."

"Mike was excellent! We have started with the basics and now it's time for practice! He's very patience and explains the lesson clearly. He also records
what we did with our time and writes out a lesson plan on what to practice. I'm very excited to be working with Mike!"

Review by Drew
"Gina was recommended to me as an excellent online banjo instructor and she has more than lived up to that reputation. I started taking online lessons wit
h her a year ago from Europe and my progress with the banjo has sky-rocked faster than all the work I tried on my own with books. Gina's clear and patient instruction style makes learning easy, and her feedback on my progress inspires me to practice and be passionate about the banjo. Whether it's for banjo instruction in person or online, I highly recommend Gina!"

icking, rolls, and I got my first song to practice. I highly recommend Mike!"

"Gina has got that happy knack of teaching with insight into the hurdles one has to jump to get over, with patience and enthusiasm. She is a top class perf

And, if YouTube trends are any indication, it looks like the banjo is making another genre shift! A pack of viral videos featuring banjo covers of hard rock classics are making the rounds and proving that banjos can shred just a … Read More
