"I've been a mandolin student of Kelly Lancaster for a little over a year. My weekly lessons are always a highlight of my week. Kelly is incredibly talented, a patient teacher and able to teach students at all experience and age levels. I would highly recommend Kelly as a teacher to anyone who is interested in improving their skills at either the guitar or mandolin. In addition, Kelly has become a friend and is a wonderful person."

"During recent travel to Houston, I had the good fortune of meeting with Kelly Lancaster for some mandolin instruction. In our short session, Kelly shared stories, secrets and techniques gleaned from mandolin greats such as Paul Buskirk and Dave Peters. My playing and approach to playing mando is forever changed! The gray areas between bluegrass and swing have been colored in with the help of Kelly's insight and virtuosic playing. He's an amazing guy. If you're in Houston, GO SEE KELLY LANCASTER!"
