Hello Banjo hangout!

I'm excited to be here.  I am now offering lessons in person in New York, and Skype lessons.  Please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to work with me. I've made my living predominantly as a progressive player, but I have a very deep love for traditional bluegrass banjo playing so our lessons can cover just about anything within the realm of 5 string playing.  After teaching at Berklee for four years I have a huge amount of unique teaching materials on all manor of topics.  Please email me if you are interested at wcorbett@berklee.edu

Thanks!

 

Wes
