Learning Music is a Lifetime

Commitment

So you just bought a new instrument and want to learn how to play it. Maybe you have been playing an instrument for years but have reached a point where you do not feel like you're progressing or you have become stagnant in your playing abilities.

For both the beginner and the more experienced players, continual music education is an essential ingredient towards progressing with your instrument.  It may seem impossible to find the right instructor for a mandolin and banjo, yet maybe less so for the guitar student. The guitar player will find a number of competent players in the area who could guide them in learning how to play.  The choices for the mandolin and banjo player (depending on the area you live in) are few and far between. When I started playing banjo in the Detroit area in 1969, I had a very difficult time finding anyone who knew how to play the banjo, let alone, someone competent enough to teach me how to play it.
