Intermediate Mandolin Class
I
teach an adult evening class in Intermediate Mandolin with
ALP Scots Music Group in Edinburgh (click on the photo to enlarge). Participants should know the
basics of playing the mandolin, and we'll be looking at various
techniques, tricks and tune genres throughout the course.
Below is the schedule for the course up to this time. If you have any further questions, please ask (email me).
