Welcome to my official MusicKnechtion Website!

I've always loved the banjo ever since I heard Earl Scruggs on my Dad's LPs. At age 7, I started playing from tablature and learned as much as I could. At about 12 years old I took lessons from a friend at a music store. These days are different, you can teach lessons online from across the globe. My aim is to bring joy into the lives of people who want to learn the banjo. I teach both beginners and intermediate players. Feel free to browse my YouTubes below. And if you're interested in online lessons, click on the link above concerning online lessons. If you live locally to central Illinois, you might be interested in-person lessons.
