Testimonials
You don’t need talent or a childhood of lessons—these folks started as adults and are now playing for fun, family, and pure joy. Whether you're brand new, picking it back up, think you're too old to start (you're not) or just need a creative outlet, I bet one of their stories will hit home.
Quality of Life
Never played a note? You’re in the right place. These stories are from folks who started from scratch—and found that making music was way more doable (and fun!) than they ever imagined.
"At 72, I had some anxieties. The Breakthrough Course and it's philosophy has eliminated these two anxieties. I'd advise the Course for any other "oldsters" who might be interested in the banjo."
"Finding your course is the best thing to ever happen to my banjo playing!"
"This course is awesome and fabulous and I couldn’t be happier! Just finishing the first of 6 lesson books. Each little segment of the first book was filled with insights and interesting little techniques that have really helped my understanding of the piano and music! I highly recommend The Piano Guy!"
"I enjoy this course. Thankful for the simplicity of the course. I do not feel overwhelmed with info, and I see that you teach the necessities to help us have easy wins - which boost confidence as we learn. The lessons and the practices are great since you immediately learn and then have an opportunity to master what you learn in the following video."
"I have been a student to the breakthrough banjo program for most of last year. During that time I broke out of my "rut", learned new skills, and found more joy and fulfillment in your program than I could have ever asked for."
"Breakthrough Banjo has helped me IMPROVE MY PLAYING AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, KEEPS ME INSPIRED. The course format is brilliant and technically understanding, and clawhammer repertoire is a suprisingly short amount of time."
