Beginning Mandolin   

A mandolin is a stringed musical instrument in the lute family and is usually plucked with a plectrum or pick. This is a class for students who are interested in developing basic mandolin skills and playing with others in a group. We will practice picking techniques and learn scales and chords. In addition, we will learn to play several Americana folk songs as well as a couple of tunes from the Bluegrass and Celtic traditions. Please bring a mandolin.
