I’ve been taking lessons from Chris for over a year now and I couldn’t recommend him more as a banjo instructor. He started me off with a good foundation. Truthfully, I never intended to stick with lessons this long, but I keep having fun and learn new things every week. If you ever thought about picking up a banjo, give Chris a call!

Chris is an exceptional banjo teacher and all-around great guy. I’ve been taking lessons from him for several years now, starting in person, and now online. Chris has really helped me progress from a beginner to being able to comfortably play with folks at jams. Lessons are fun and laid back. I highly recommend Chris as a teacher to anyone looking to improve their banjo playing, regardless of their skill level.

Chris Elliott was one of the best students I had during my tenure at South Plains College. He was a fast diligent learner, His career after his time at school has proven that the music he has to offer is much appreciated by the Bluegrass world.

Chris has participated in our Mid-Winter Banjo Workshop for the past few years. I have received very positive feedback from workshop participants regarding his expertise , knowledge and playing abilities relating to the banjo. Just as Important, the students appreciated his teaching skills, patience and sense of humor he demonstrated throughout the workshop.

Chris was my assistant at my basic level banjo camp. He was easy for me to work with, and was responsive to my direction. On the evaluation forms, the students commented favorably about his help. He sets a good example with his excellent picking as well as his pleasant and easy-going manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
