Northern California Bluegrass Musicians are listed in the NCBS Directory to give Online Lessons. This is a way for students/fans to support area musicians during the Coronavirus Pandemic. The directory is a FREE service of the Northern California Bluegrass Society. Interested students can check the directory and arrange ONLINE LESSONS with their favorite musicians (the price is between teacher and student). The convenient Directory is listed under Resources in the index on the left side of this website. Musicians can sign up to offer lessons at <webmaster@ncbs.us>.
