About Banjo Lessons
Our guitar instructors are trained in a wide variety of styles, genres, and instruments including acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, mandolin, and banjo. Beginner or advanced, child or adult, we provide an encouraging and supportive learning environment where every lesson is customized to fit the individual goals, learning styles, skill levels, and personalities of each student.
how it works
We currently offer banjo lessons virtually and in-person (limited to availability)
Virtual Lessons

- At your lesson time, you can click on the link and click ‘Ask to Join’ and your instructor will let you into the meeting.
- If for any reason you need help accessing the meeting, give our friendly front desk staff a call and they are more than happy to answer any questions.
In-person Lessons
For the safety of our students and staff we have made some changes to our in-person lessons:
- Students and instructors must wear face coverings during the lesson
- Hand sanitizer is available for use before and after lessons
- Please wait outside until your instructor is ready
- Lessons will end 5 minutes early to allow for proper cleaning and sanitizing of the rooms
- At this time, voice and woodwind lessons are not available in-person

He has previously performed original songs at the NW Ciderfest and Tualatin Crawfish Festival.
Spencer's Favorite Part of Teaching
“I love watching people grow both as musicians and humans. Seeing someone finally play a difficult passage after investing themselves into it is a special thing.”
