What Students are Saying:

"Rex, the instructor, was always relaxed and easy going. Although the class consisted of banjo players of vastly different abilities, he always took the time to work with each student. He was able to make all the students comfortable and accepted."-Philip E.

"Rex put forth a lot of effort to give each student as much individual attention as he could and still keep everyone learning. He showed great enthusiasm and a sincre desire to have each student learn to play the banjo. He took suggestions offered by class members and implemented them to better taylor the instruction to our needs. Most important of all he made it fun and enjoyable. Thanks."-Bradley N.
