FACULTY NOTES

Meet
Rich Stillman

Rich Stillman has been a banjo player-about-town in the Boston area for many years. Among other acts, he founded and led the progressive bluegrass band WayStation and played and recorded with Adam Dewey and Crazy Creek, The Bogus Family and currently, Southern Rail. When it comes to teaching, Rich explains, “I am tenacious about finding ways to connect people to the music they want to play. If someone has made the effort to find the banjo and the decision to take lessons, they are clearly motivated enough to learn. My job is to help them fulfill that dream.”
