I am going into my third lesson next week with Steve and could not be happier with my experience! Steve is very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and overall has been a great teacher! I was wary to start online lessons with an instrument I was completely unfamiliar with, but I already feel so much more comfortable and confident! So much better than fumbling on my own! I’m looking forward to my continued banjo education, thank you so much Steve!

Steve is an amazing teacher. Takes time to ensure lesson is understood before moving on to the next lesson. He always responds very quickly and is always incredibly nice. I’m so glad I found him. 10/10
