"The lessons are clear and well-paced and I really like Brad's teaching style. Not too fast, not to slow and I really feel like I'm making great progress." - Denise

"I'm really enjoying his channel, because I can fit things in to my busy life. As well as basic tunes and more complex versions, there are fun exercises, scales and 'hot licks' that you can dip into when you want a bit of banjo inspiration" - Chloe

Private Lessons

PictureBrad teaching a workshop at Johns Hopkins - 2015
I teach adults and children--from beginner to experienced players--how to play clawhammer banjo. In addition to teaching the basics and helping you build your repertoire, I can introduce and help you refine advanced techniques. I can show you how to effectively use slides, hammer-ons, triplets, pull-offs, the bum-ditty, double-thumbing, and the drop-thumb. The tools I teach you will encourage creativity and help you develop your own style. I give lessons in the music studio at my house in Baltimore, MD in Hampden. Lessons can be weekly, or a flexible schedule can be arranged.
