Introduction: We are completely family-run and family-friendly. I, Joshua Thomas, have been playing music professionally and semi-professionally for years, but recently, a family crisis and the addition of another member of our musical clan has forced me to stop touring. I even had to stop sitting in with bands when they come through my town in order to stay closer to my family. I have have taught my son to play guitar and some mandolin. He could play with very accomplished musicians three times his age by the time that he was four years old. This gives me confidence that I can teach the youngest students who would like to learn, as well as older students.
