Welcome to my site!

As we near summer, I usually have a few more openings so if you're looking to take some lessons, the time is near to check into this. Just email me e-mail me at jack@jacktuttle.com or call me at (650) 320-8733.

My new banjo book is finally out! It's Jack Tuttle's Bluegrass Banjo Collection, volume 2, now on sale.

The KNTV Channel 11 (NBC) ran a feature on my kids playing bluegrass their 6:00pm news show. It's now up on YouTube for all to see.

I have put up a new YouTube video of the kids playing Diamond Joe, featuring Molly's singing. So far the original El Cumbanchero video has almost a million viewings - pretty remarkable for something I put up for friends, family and students to see! Here are some of my favorite comments.

What's On My Site

The site is mainly meant to be a resource for my current students in the South San Francisco Bay Area. However, anyone who is learning to play should find something of interest.

Most of the navigation buttons lead to obvious content. Some of things you will find on my website include:

  • Schedule a Lesson lets you schedule a one-time lesson, or reschedule a missed lesson.
  • About Lessons has all the basic information about taking lessons from me including when, where, how much and how to schedule a lesson.
  • Helpful Tips is an entry point for all help for each instrument and a link to the top ten things that you can do to improve your playing. The top ten includes tips for more effective practice.
  • Explore some of the links down the left side to learn more about bluegrass .
