I’m Doing Online Banjo Lessons Now

Just about everyone has learned how to zoom in 2020. I’m sure when we look back, learning how to do Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams will be one of the many identifiers of this year, along with a few phrases like ‘social distancing’, ‘flatten the curve’, and ‘post-COVID’.

And that brings me to my point:

I’m offering online banjo lessons now. That’s in addition to the usual in-person banjo lessons, of course. Normally I use Zoom, but MS Teams works and I’m pretty sure Skype would work just as well too. Lessons (both in-person and online) are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays after 5:30 or so.

About Pgibson

I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown. I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles. I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.

    Looking for a hobby in my retirement. Would like to learn to play a banjo for my own pleasure. To do this I would like to take lessons via Zoom. Already have a banjo bought about ten years ago, even took about a years worth of lessons but my teacher passed away and then some years later the pandemic cinched my moving away from learning. I’d like to revisit learning if I could find a teacher that is comfortable teaching via Zoom.
