Best instructor this side of the Mississippi. - dcc5ff


Kris is not only a natural talent, but he is an incredibly astute teacher and motivator. He makes playing the banjo fun and rewarding. - janetrollings


Kris has taught me more in the last 6 months than I’ve tried to learn in the past 3 years. Great player and teacher. After a lesson, I’m motivated to want to learn more. He makes it fun and challenging and that combination has made me a better player. Even my wife noticed my playing and that my friend says it all!!! - EssGibson04
