Message from Ross

Hi, I'm Ross Nickerson, Let me first tell you that the cruise workshops are very important to me. Anyone who knows me or is familiar with my work knows the passion I feel to help others learn the joy of playing an instrument. One look through BanjoTeacher.com will give you an idea of the many services and inspirations I have for students who want to progress and move forward with their banjo playing experience.

As you can see by the curriculum description, this workshop will hit the core of the most important issues facing you. It will key on the most important areas of study needed to overcome as you tackle the obstacles that are inherent and unique in many ways to learning the five string banjo.

Please call me at anytime and I will lay out just how I want to help you and how much fun we are going to have while doing it!

Ross Nickerson
