We believe that learning should be both enjoyable and substantial, blending fun and engagement with thorough technical teaching.

The focus of our mandolin lessons is not just on playing the instrument but on nurturing the overall musicianship of each student. To achieve this, we start by building a strong foundational understanding of music and mandolin techniques.

Our Approach to Mandolin Lessons

We Make Mandolin Lessons Fun!

Whether your goal is to play folk melodies around a campfire or to become a mandolin virtuoso, our experienced instructors are here to support you at every stage. Your enjoyment and progress in mandolin playing are our top priorities.

We Emphasize Healthy Technique

Regardless of your ultimate goals, our teachers will prioritize strong fundamentals including proper posture, hand positioning, chords, fretting, picking, and strumming. As students progress, these basics will become second nature – and serve as the foundation from which students can apply their skills across a variety of genres and styles.

We want our mandolin students to be literate, well-rounded musicians. Beginners and seasoned performers alike will find value in our approach, coupling technical instruction with elements of music theory and music history in each lesson.
