Mandolin | Chris Brashear | Beginning | Period 1 | Week 2 (July 13-18, 2025)
In this class, we will focus on the essential things required to make music on the mandolin: basic fingering, simple chords, keeping time and learning melody. We’ll focus on the simple things that allow you to play in jam sessions with other musicians. I would like you to feel like a contributor to real music making, unafraid to pick up your instrument and play it.
