The mandolin is popular instrument used in a range of styles including country, bluegrass, traditional folk and Irish music. It is great as a melody or rhythm instrument and this workshop will introduce both styles of playing. It will look at basic technique, simple tunes, chord shapes and progressions and playing as a group.
This workshop is suitable for those who have some basic experience of stringed instruments (such as guitar, ukulele, banjo, bazouki, violin) and who can play basic open chords and a few scales or tunes. Ability to read tablature is useful but not essential.
Please bring a mandolin if you have one, or contact education@stables.org if you need to borrow one (limited numbers available).
