North County Bluegrass And Folk Club
About
I like to think my forte is showing students what they need to practice in order to jump right in and jam with other people. To excell with my teaching style, a student need not know how to read music or tabulature. Also, absolutley no musical ability or previous experience is needed other than a good sense of rhythm.
I enjoy watching my students enjoying playing music with others. I've been playing stringed instruments for 61 years and jamming is the ultimate experience.
