We have a very special guest on this week’s ArtistWorks Music Series podcast! This week, ArtistWorks CEO Patricia Butler sits down with legendary banjoist and Punch Brothers member Noam Pikelny to explore the contents of his new ArtistWorks course, Banjo with Noam Pikelny. The show is available now anywhere you listen to podcasts, or you can listen here on our site. 

Widely considered the preeminent banjoist of his generation, Noam has drawn from his unique experience as a member of Punch Brothers and as a solo artist to create a comprehensive course for banjo players of all levels. Here, Noam and Patricia discuss how Noam teaches the “on-ramp” to playing his style of banjo, common obstacles that all players must overcome, and much more.

On the ArtistWorks Music Series, Butler speaks with master musicians across all genres as they dive deep into topics like becoming a musician, playing at the professional level, and the journey of learning music.
