  Review of 5-String Banjo Lessons (Bluegrass only), September 25, 2009

  I've been working with Tim for about 3 months. Every week he pushes me to do something new, works to overcome the problems I am having, and has new exercises to get my fingers to do what they need to do when they just don't want to.

  You might not be playing Battling Banjos (the Deliverance song) or much else in a month, but you will be learning to play correctly, not developing bad habits now that will hold you back later.

  Tim is extremely patient, and understands that it takes a long time to get it right. He is always encouraging, even when I feel I am making no progress. I look forward to my lesson each week, and really do recommend Tim as an instructor.

  Tim Mackey is a wealth of musical knowlege. He has perfect patience for the beginner, like me, who always feels stupid. After a class with him you feel like you can actually master what you're working on (if you practice). And unlike some other music teachers he doesn't waste your time & $ talking about himself and his accomplishments (which are many).
