Clawhammer Banjo, Vocal, Percussive dance, By-Ear Harmony Singing, Old Time Ensemble, JammingORAs the banjo picking, clog dancing daughter of Midwestern hippie folk musicians who grew up performing in a family band, I guess I was always destined to draw outside the lines. I haven't been touring or on staff at as many camps in the last few years as I've been staying closer to home with my daughter (who is now 5) and partner. I teach many classes and lessons here in Portland at my school, Rose City Folk School. Over the years, I've taught at Pinewoods, Augusta, Lady of the Lake, Walker Creek, Ogontz, Buffalo Gap Family Week, Swanannoa Gathering, Portland Old Time Gathering, and many more. I am excited to get back out there! I have been honing my teaching skills in clawhammer banjo, harmony singing, jamming and clogging over many years. I love to help my students build confidence, competence, and community. I enjoy working with beginners of all ages as much as I enjoy challenging experienced musicians. Thanks!I am self-nominatingTrad

Mandolin, Bluegrass band classCAUnlike many bluegrass teachers, Sharon has formal music education (a Bachelor of Music degree in Mandolin Performance). Before that though, growing up, she learned mandolin (and bass) completely by rote. She brings both of these approaches to her teaching, giving her versatility and knowledge beyond many other teachers.
Through this varied background and her 15 years of teaching experience, she has developed many different ways to teach and explain different concepts. If one way doesn't work for a student, she always has another approach ready to try.
Her love for teaching and care for her students comes across in every lesson. She cares about her students as people and is committed to giving each one of them the time, attention, and encouragement they deserve.
Lastly, she feels strongly about getting more women into bluegrass and does what she can to effect this change!
