I offer banjo lessons for beginning and intermediate musicians. The style I teach is two-finger old time, which was the style used by Roscoe Holcomb, Dock Boggs, and countless other traditional Appalachian masters of the 5-string banjo. Pete Seeger tweaked this style into something he called the “basic strum”, which roused generations to the charms of the banjo.
Whether you want to learn those terrific 1960s folk songs or intricate, haunting melodies from the backwoods of West Virginia, my approach has something to offer.
No prior musical training is necessary. Please email me for details.
