More About Me
I am a multi-instrumentalist newly arrived in Berlin from Virginia. I am skilled in many styles of traditional American music such as old time, bluegrass, blues, ragtime, country, swing and early jazz, etc and I have many years of experience teaching all ages and skill levels. If you are interested in learning to play the banjo, fiddle, or mandolin I can get you started and improve your skills at a pace that works for you. Here is what one of my students said about me on yelp.com: "I enjoy his style and temperament. He's patient, knowledgeable and prepared with numerous skill building and developmental activities... He's a well-rounded folk musician who can help people at various stages of learning to play instruments." I also have experience teaching workshops and group classes as well as specialized lessons for more advanced players.

Here is some more press about me:
"Fiddlin' and banjoin' genius's. Aaron Jonah Lewis: multiple award winning fiddler, banjo player extraordinaire, Aaron is well known for taking audiences at concerts and festivals by storm both here in the UK and in the USA. Familiar to UK audiences through the showmasters his neo-traditional bluegrass band The Hotseats, and celebrated in the US for the absurdist theatricality of Special Ed and the Short Bus. And now Aaron is taking Deutchland und mittel Europe by storm with new western swing outfit The Froggy Mountain Boys. Aaron is rapidly becoming iconic, not just on account of his virtuosity but because of his rapport with his audience. Skills in abundance, passion and presence. All that then in addition, charisma, pure creativity and SOUL.
