John Wallace has been playing stringed instruments for more than 40 years.  Teaching has been a priority for John for nearly 25 of those 40 years.  He continues to receive great rewards from his continued musical explorations, and from the resulting learning experiences.  John actually prefers teaching to performing, although you will find his name on the roster of many a fiddle contest throughout the Midwest.

John is available Thursdays at the Homestead Pickin’ Parlor, where he teaches old-time banjo and fiddle -- with occasional consultations on mandolin, flatpick guitar and bluegrass banjo.  John is currently interested in developing cross-over musical awareness (learn a tune on the fiddle, play it on the guitar), and in the value of a centered focus between right and left hands on all instruments. 

John specializes in musical instruction for adults and enjoys teaching students at all levels of playing ability.
