About
Hey everyone, thank you for visiting my page. I have been instructing bluegrass and folk music lessons and workshops in Kansas City since the 1970s. Recently, I have expanded my services to ONLINE learning. Take a moment to watch my NEW VIDEO! Bluegrass is my specialty, and I offer lessons for banjo, dobro, mandolin, bass, guitar, and general folk musicianship. With 50 years of playing and 45 years of teaching, I am excited to embark on video lessons to reach beyond the Kansas City region. Zoom internet lessons are available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Don't forget to check out my video in the Pics/Vids section! Lastly, I want to note that I offer tuition DISCOUNTS every quarter.

The lessons I received were specifically tailored to accommodate my level of skills. Thanks to my years of experience playing the guitar, I had already grasped concepts such as chords, alternate tunings, and alike. During our introductory sessions, Jeff honed my right-hand techniques by training me to recognize patterns, adapt to the melody, and develop speed. Gradually, we moved from skill-building exercises to playing songs, which made the sessions more fulfilling. It's worth mentioning that I was an unconventional student who began playing the banjo a few months before turning 70! The experience was enjoyable, and I continue to seek Jeff's assistance when I encounter difficulties playing a particular tune. To anyone in need of a great mentor, storyteller, drillmaster, and companion, I highly recommend Jeff!

Jeff came across as an honest and caring teacher. Not only did he assist me in deciphering the music, but he also enlightened me about the background of my instrument and the music itself. The newfound knowledge had an impact on how I played the tunes.

For several years, Jeff has been instructing me in banjo. He is a skilled picker and capable of simplifying playing techniques for learners. With his guidance, I transformed from a beginner to a skilled player, having the confidence and ability to perform with a bluegrass band and participate in jam sessions.
