Message From Ross
Hi, I'm Ross Nickerson, The cruise workshops are very important to me. Those of you who know me or is familiar with my work know the passion I feel to help others learn the joy of playing the 5-string banjo. Looking through BanjoTeacher.com will give you an idea of the many services 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 describe the banjo clasees and workshops and how much fun we are going to have while doing it! 1-866-322-6567
