My teaching style is informed by time working in the public education system along with years of playing music in the bluegrass, folk, and old-time community settings.
Lessons support you to deepen your musicianship, both as an individual and group-oriented musician. I’m here to empower you to be your best musical self and to enjoy the gift of playing music with others whether it’s in a jam, with friends, or even in a band.
Banjo Lessons
Beginning to advanced instruction on 3 finger (bluegrass) style banjo and beginning to intermediate instruction on clawhammer style banjo.
Guitar Lessons
Beginning to advanced instruction on rhythm and flat-picking bluegrass, country, and folk style guitar.
Singing & Songwriting
Singing lessons can include breathing, basic vocal technique, and finding and arranging harmonies.
In songwriting lessons, we can workshop something you’ve already got cooking, or explore ways to develop your creative muscles.
How much do you charge?
Regular lesson rates are on a sliding scale from $85-$125 for an hour lesson, and $45-65 for a 30 minute lesson. I am sometimes able to take folks at a lower rate, depending on my current financial situation. If you feel a strong tug in your heart to work together but are tight on money, feel free to reach out and we can see what might work.
