Taylor had never touched a banjo. 38 days later, he's playing at 140 BPM.
He started exactly where most people do โ a few scattered YouTube videos, no real plan, and a banjo he didn't know how to hold. Then he found Banjo Mountain and followed the path: one lesson at a time, real feedback when he got stuck, and a community cheering him on. Thirty-eight days later, this is what he can do.
Log every session. Watch your streak grow. Never lose momentum again.
Every membership comes with your own Practice Tracker โ a simple timer, a "don't break the chain" streak calendar, and charts that show your hours practiced over time. It's the single biggest reason our members actually stick with banjo.
On top of that, Weekly Practice Challenges turn consistency into something fun โ complete them and you'll earn entries into a monthly raffle for coaching, gift cards, and Banjo Mountain gear.

240+ lessons. One clear path. Zero guesswork.
Every lesson is organized into a real progression โ from your very first pluck through advanced bluegrass and clawhammer technique. No scattered YouTube rabbit holes. Just the next right lesson, every time.
You're not learning banjo alone. You're learning with people who were exactly where you are.
Every day, real Banjo Mountain members jump in alongside our teachers and support team to answer banjo questions, troubleshoot technique, and cheer on your progress. Those members picked up a banjo for the first time too, and they remember exactly what it felt like to get stuck. Now they're a little further down the road, and they show up because they want to see you succeed.
Here's What Our Members Are Achieving
Real banjo players, real progress โ straight from the Banjo Mountain community.
Motivation to practice alone always runs out.So don't practice alone.
Every day at 9am PST, Banjo Mountain members show up live for a one-hour practice meetup โ cameras on or off, your choice. Think of it like a study hall: nobody's teaching, nobody's grading you, but something about being in a room with other people who showed up for the same reason gets you to actually pick up the banjo. No lessons. No pressure. Just showing up, together, every single day.
Feeling stuck or lost?Get real, personal feedback.
Learning on your own is hard โ when you get stuck or lost with no one to ask, it's easy to lose momentum and give up altogether. A personalized 30-minute live video session with a real teacher gets you through that hurdle quickly, right inside Banjo Mountain.
At 71, Gert's banjo sat untouched.Then his daughter gave him a membership.
Gert, from the Netherlands, got his first banjo a week before his 71st birthday โ he sat down, tried a few chords, and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Then his birthday came, and his daughter, a fiddle player herself, gave him a gift subscription to Banjo Mountain. The next day he took a look at the tutorials and never stopped.
"Clear tutorials and the warm community helped me carry on. By now I can play some 20 songs already. And you can do that too."โ Gert, Banjo Mountain member

Is This Good for Total Beginners?+
Absolutely! Banjo Mountain was built to take total beginners (meaning zero musical experience) into the joy of playing their first song in 30 days! We have seen this happen hundreds of times.
How Much Time Do I Need Each Week?+
We see students of all ages succeed with as little as 15 minutes of practice a day. Your target goal should be 30 minutes, as you'll see faster growth and build greater momentum. Many of our students get closer to one hour a day as their excitement explodes from seeing their growth accelerate.
Do I Need to Read Music or Know Music Theory?+
No! You don't need any musical experience at all. In the beginner's skills course, you will learn to read tablature (which is like a picture of the banjo neck). It's simple and easy, and will be invaluable to you. So get ready to learn banjo with zero musical experience!
What Happens After I Join?+
You'll jump right in and start learning the foundational skills you need to play. You'll also start tracking your practice with the built-in Practice Tracker, which helps you build the habit and sets you up for success. And if you'd like, introduce yourself in the Banjo Mountain Community โ a great place to get encouragement and have your questions answered.
