WHAT WILL I LEARN IN BANJO LESSONS?
First you must know that not every Banjo Lesson is taught the same. Different students have different needs and lessons are tailored to the individual. Younger students may have to work with a capo to help “shorten the neck”. Students are taught proper right and left hand technique with a proven custom method to ease into rolls and chords.
All banjo students learn by tablature with rhythm studies, theory and improvisation incorporated.
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
For the beginning student the basics of banjo are the same regardless of genre. Students will cover Bluegrass, Country and Folk as they advance in their studies.
HOW LONG UNTIL YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY A SONG?
In most cases short songs or pieces of songs are taught almost from the beginning. However how soon it becomes music depends many factors including the amount of time spent practicing.

STUDENT TEACHER PROGRAM
We support a program to help beginning teachers refine their skills as they develop into professional teachers. Only advanced long term students who are music majors or preparing to study music at a college level are screened for this program. Not only are their music skills considered but their goals and their abilities to communicate with others, especially younger student musicians. They hone their skills under the watchful eye of a mentor instructor and have access to address any teaching concerns they may encounter. Through this program we will advance the art of teaching music while allowing student teachers opportunity to earn financial support in their chosen field.
