"You are one of the best music teachers I have ever had and I've been studying music since I was 10. I really want to make banjo my primary instrument and have been struggling for a long time on my own trying to figure it out. Even after one week of class I have made a major amount of progress that's inspired me to keep going. Thank you so much!"
