Music Lessons

I have been playing music for quite a while now and would love to help you learn how or progress. I teach privately out of my home in Baltimore, MD, as well as in the House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park and Appalachian Bluegrass in Catonsville. I often teach individual lessons but also teach group lessons. I also teach larger workshops on a seasonal basis.  Please contact me via phone 240.483.2237 or email jevocke@gmail.com. 

We can talk about getting you started.

I do lessons in:

• Banjo (Clawhammer, two finger, folkstyles)

• Guitar (Singer songwriter, folk styles, trad jazz, Oldtime backup guitar)

• Fiddle (Oldtime, Bluegrass, Folk)

• Mandolin (Oldtime, Bluegrass, Folk)​

​

Here are some ways I can help you in your music:

• Becoming more proficient on your instrument

• Being able to or better at playing with others

• Ear training

• Relevant music theory

• Old-time and bluegrass tune repertoire

• Style choices

• Ergonomics to avoid injury

• Finding your groove

• Overall musicality
