Just released! Children's Songs for Banjo Made Easy By Ross Nickerson

.....I have been to other online instructional sites and various clinics and I am 100% convinced that your site and your personal instruction are the best out there.  I would most strongly encourage anyone interested in playing (or in advancing their skill on) the banjo to take advantage of the
multiple tools available through your web site and/or to attend one of your clinics.  Nothing comes
close to the “return on the dollar” they will get from your various teaching methods.  Bob Cameron

Ross, Just wanted to say thank you soooo much for putting out incredible material.  My mother is the retired music teacher that you have talked to lately, we both have just picked up the banjo.  I have been playing trombone for about 27 years now, am 6 hours away from my masters in performance.  Let me just say that your material is OUTSTANDING!  It truly does feel like you are there with us to guide us along.  This has been so much fun to learn and I would really like to thank you for such wonderful material and for your great talent on this instrument.  Thanks again and have a GREAT day! Mike Montgomery O=='={::}
