About the author

Janet Davis is mostly associated with the retail music business, but it is her role as a musical educator in which she has made her most lasting contributions to the banjo world. As a part of the tiny music instrument and accessory business that she began with her husband, Jim, in 1978, Davis began selling self-produced instructional publications as well. Since then, she has established herself as a respected clinician and author, appearing at hundreds of musical events around the country as well as regularly contributing to the Banjo Newsletter. Davis has evolved into one of the world's most prolific authors of banjo instructional publications, with over 100 titles published by Mel Bay alone. In 2019 she was inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame.
