I currently offer beginner to intermediate lessons on the clawhammer banjo, and beginner lessons on bass. During lessons I focus on developing students’ personal style, groove, and enjoyment, while instilling in them the joy of playing with others. I customize lesson plans to help students get the most out of the experience. I also like to teach ‘workshop’ style lessons to several students at once. Please contact me today for more information and rates.
Hochstein Courses
I am currently on the faculty at the Hochstein School in Rochester, NY where I teach periodic 6-week courses for beginner and intermediate clawhammer banjo students. Typically I teach a beginner class in the fall, and a beginner-intermediate course in the spring. Courses usually consist of six weekly hour-long classes taught in a group setting. The environment is casual, fun, and the perfect way to hone your skills as an old-time banjo player!
We are currently enrolling students for the Spring 2019 course: Continuing Old-Time Banjo. Sign up today!
