Proactively helps you learn

Unlike YouTube videos or many other apps this app proactively helps me learn, holds my hand really. In the past I’ve dropped off stopped practicing, keeping me constantly in beginner mode. This app Carrie’s me through that, keeps my practice streak alive. Honestly it’s like having a buddy who shows up to encourage me to play, and I realize that’s what I need if I’m ever going to do this. Really well thought out app for the learning banjo player!

Amazing app and community

Words cannot even describe how pleased I am with this program. I have made great progress with my clawhammer banjo skills in just a short month. The community and the feedback to help out with that progress is top notch and such a huge help. I highly recommend anyone who wants to start banjo to utilize this program.

Banjo Mania

Trying to figure out how to play Banjo from the beginning as a new player. Just started and these courses are very informative. Definitely worth the money.

Welcome to the banjo! The beginning is the best part, so enjoy it. If you ever get stuck on a lesson, post a question in the community and we'll help you through it. Thanks for the review! – Judd

Love!

Having never picked up a banjo in my life, the free trial definitely got me started - lessons are easy to follow and well paced. But the community keeps me growing. Was scared but love the Daily Practice Room!

From never picking up a banjo to the Daily Practice Room, that takes courage! Thanks for coming in even though it felt scary. Everyone there started exactly where you did. See you at 9! – Judd

Super annoying

I didn’t choose to learn on a app to be bombarded with emails and notifications. If I wanted to talk to people I would take lessons in person

Thank you for telling us this, and I'm sorry it felt like too much. You were right. Our new Banjo Mountain app, out this month, has a simple Notifications screen where you choose exactly which kinds you get, or turn them all off. You can learn at your own pace and never post a thing if you'd rather not. If you give us another try, I'd love to hear how it goes. – Judd

Gave me hope

I’ve picked up a few instruments through the years and never really stuck with any of them. I felt like I had no musical talent. I’ve started working through this program and actually feel like I have a chance at getting decent at this. The community is great too.

Derek, this one means a lot. Lots of people come to us feeling they "have no musical talent," and it's almost never true. What they were missing was a plan and people to practice with. You absolutely have a chance at this. Keep going! – Judd

Great practice app

Lots of music to learn good feedback community

Makes learning the banjo fun and achievable!

I’ve wanted to learn to play banjo for a long time but had been told it was a tough instrument to pick up at my age (late 60s). Banjo Mountain instruction and community are helping me get closer to this goal every day and have fun all along the way.

Whoever told you banjo was too hard at your age was wrong, and you're proving it! Some of our most dedicated players started in their 60s and 70s. Thank you, and keep having fun! – Judd

Great place to learn!

This is a supportive community. The site also offers “playing” feedback which is extremely helpful for growth. I’m looking forward to trying the practice journal.

Thank you, Diana! Good news: the practice journal grew up into our Practice Tracker, with a timer, streaks and Song Review built in. I hope you love it. – Judd

The perfect beginner course

I’ve been using Banjo Mountain for almost a year now and have gone from a complete beginner to being able to play full songs easily. The course is super easy to follow with detailed videos, and the support you get from the community is even better. I’ve loved sharing my banjo journey with other enthusiasts and any questions I’ve ever asked have been answered so quickly. If you want to learn how to play banjo, this is the place.

My banjo journey

I love Banjo Mountain. Bluegrass music has always been a favorite of mine and love the sound of the banjo but never thought I would ever play it.
Then a banjo was gifted to me and had no idea where to start. Quite by accident, I found Banjo Mountain and it’s made learning such a pleasure.
I especially love the community… Everyone helps everyone else .

Love Banjo Mountain

I love Banjo Mountain for many reasons: The lessons are excellent, the teacher is excellent, and the value for the membership is incredible! My favorite part about Banjo Mountain is the community. Being able to take the community with me in my pocket and share as well as ask questions is wonderful!
