Meet Gert, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
His daughter gave him his banjo dream.
Gert had always wanted to play banjo. His daughter gave him a Banjo Mountain membership, and now he can play 20 songs.
He shares his progress with the community and joins our live daily meetups. We'll help your loved one succeed, just like Gert.
Meet David, a lifelong banjo dreamer 🪕
He waited almost 60 years to play.
David fell in love with the banjo the first time he heard "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" in 1962. He bought a cheap banjo and a book and tried to teach himself, and for decades it was a struggle. Banjo Mountain was the game changer.
Now he practices alongside familiar faces in our live Daily Practice Room, and practice is something he wants to do, not something he has to do. If someone you love has been dreaming of the banjo for years, it's not too late.

Victoria Leiberman
"A banjo was gifted to me and Banjo Mountain has been crucial in my banjo journey."
"I had zero experience coming into this. I move at my own pace, but I have all the support I need, including the live daily practice rooms. I'm practicing more than 6 hours a week!"
H. Marc Lewis
"Just before my 78th birthday, I decided it was about time to actually learn the banjo... When I discovered Banjo Mountain, I knew I'd found the right place to start."
Christian-Lee Wilde
"My 19-year-old sister, who has never touched any instrument in her life, was able to use this course and play Tom Dooley after 3 days of Banjo Mountain courses."
Craig M.
"Eureka! I found it. After 3 years of frustration and being stuck at the same old stage in banjo lessons, I found Banjo Mountain and I'm progressing!"
