In addition to songwriting and performing, I also teach bluegrass jamming as a certified Wernick Method instructor. The Wernick Method, developed by Pete Wernick, music educator and banjo player with the bluegrass group "Hot Rize", teaches students the basics of bluegrass jamming. 

Ed's next Wernick Method Jam Class will be offered on June 20, 2026 in Fort Collins, CO.  Sign up or find additional information at https://wernickmethod.org/event/eh-2026-06-fortcollins.
