I'm located in the picturesque North Shore of Nassau County, the true roots of Appalachia.

Check out the PHILJ200 section of EZFolks for a sample of what I do and teach. Contact me here or PHILJ200@HOTMAIL.
 
Reasonable rates, will barter for chickens and hogs.

This section is actually becoming productive. I now have two students who've first met me here.

Bragging about my prize student!

I have a young and very dedicated teenager (14 years old) studying with me. He came to me for bluegrass and owns a nice middle-of-the-road Goldtone. He was well on the way to figuring out rolls and pieces on his own.

He absorbs material as fast as I can present it. Last night I taught him Blackberry Blossoms. He got it right away.  Then I gave him a jazzy version of Summertime. Yes, the Gershwin masterpiece. He got that too. Gershwin I believe wrote it in A-minor. But it works better for me in E-minor. His mother plays piano. He's going to surprise her and ask to play the piece as a duet (I gave him the sheet music). He's play capo'ed up five.

Along the way he's learning clawhammer. He's formed a band with a guitar picker and a standup bass. Had him bring the guitar picker along for a lesson so he could learn to backup a banjo.

Forgot to ask in my PM: what town or area are you in North Shore, Suffolk, it might make a difference. Answer in PM.

Check your PM. I've spoken to a fine country fiddler who is taking students. She is in Roslyn, Nassau County. Not far north of the LIE. We're both in the LITMA Contra Dance Orchestra. She is expecting your e-mail.
