Listen "S1E5: Pete Wernick"
Episode Synopsis
Join your hosts Mike Willner and Liz Wolfe as we explore all aspects of the music we love. In this episode, Liz sits with the Bluegrass giant, Pete Wernick - banjo legend, member of the band Hot Rize, and creator of the Wernick Method (https://wernickmethod.org/). They cover all aspects of Pete's music career, philosophy of teaching, and more.
We get key insights into Pete's approach and vision for learning to play music, and for building full musical potential in the jam circle. It's fascinating to hear how he expanded and refined that approach into the Wernick Method we have today.
Additionally, we'll get the inside scoop on the upcoming Jam Jersey jamming weekend (April 4 - 6 https://bluegrassjamsnearme.com/jamjersey/).
