Mandolin Lessons in Davis, CA

Are you looking for a mandolin teacher in Davis?

Yes, I teach mandolin too!!

Mandolin is a fun instrument, especially for those that want to play melodies and lead…and it also sounds nice to play chords. You’ll hear a lot of mandolin in classic folk and bluegrass records, and a lot of contemporary folk and bluegrass continues to use the instrument as a lead.

Here’s a fun tune that features mandolin:

Do I need experience to play mandolin?

No! It’s a fine instrument to start with, especially for adults that have developed finger strength. For kids, I would recommend starting with ukulele lessons.

It’s really easy to start picking and sounding good. You don’t even need to learn chords right away, and can just focus on easy melodies, which really is rewarding to hear yourself play! And the basic chords are fairly easy as well.
