Ever since I started playing the banjo I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge and helping others learn to play. Through my many years of experience, teaching privately, and traveling in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia teaching group banjo workshops, I’ve gained unique insights into the common obstacles facing banjo students. I've listened to my students, have seen the challenges they face and understand their dreams and goals. My goal has always been to deliver concerned, practical, and focused instruction in a personable and easy to follow manner. I have beginner banjo books, advanced banjo dvd videos, and everything in between intermediate banjo lessons. I've written the top selling banjo book "The Banjo Encyclopedia", “Bluegrass Banjo from A to Z” as well as many other books, Cds and DVDs designed to help you, the banjo student, save time, learn the fun of playing 5-string banjo easier and perfect your banjo technique.
We also have downloads so you can practice offline with our banjo books for download, CDs and DVDs. You can find great resources to learn banjo chords, and playing with a backup banjo band.

Comments on Ross Nickerson's Banjo Encyclopedia, "Bluegrass Banjo from A to Z"
"….I think that what you have created is the new gold standard for banjo instruction. It is an absolutely beautiful, beautifully written book, which I know will now be the foundation of my lifetime banjo study."
"I got The Banjo Encyclopedia Friday and have read it cover to cover. Very well done. ...I did go to the Table of Contents and, in my opinion as a former HS teacher and college lecturer for 25 years - Ross has put together something that I would say is the first book/CD that anyone who knows they want to learn 5 string should have."
"......bought your Banjo Encyclopedia about 6 weeks ago, I have put all my other books on ice, yours is THE one. It covers everything I will possibly want to know for the next 20 years or so. It will in my opinion become the seminal book on banjo."
