Hello everyone

Two and a half years ago, I decided to take up the five-string banjo. After struggling with teach-it-yourself manuals for a couple of months, I sought out a teacher, and was fortunate enough to come across Pete Stanley.

I have found Pete an effective and inspiring tutor. Moreover, he is a kind and patient man, and it would be foolish to judge either him or his ability as a teacher on the grounds of a pressure-cooker situation where a very busy man aims to achieve an extremely difficult goal while being filmed by the BBC.
