Mandolin Unit 1 - Hard Copy Book

Price: $26.97

‘Essential Music Theory for Mandolin – Master Workshop 101’ is a program designed to help a first year Mandolin student to learn how to play from the heart and rely less on printed sheet music and tablature. It is a practical application of music theory using bluegrass music and other examples that can be applied to real life jam sessions. This is UNIT 1.

Over the years, as a dedicated music teacher, my students consistently asked how to improvise more fluently on their Mandolin and to do so without the aid of sheet music, tablature or rehearsing the song beforehand.

It’s amazing how many people, including music teachers, who when asked to play a tune they’ve not rehearsed at a party or jam session reply by saying, ‘I can’t because I haven’t got the music’, or, ‘I’ve heard that song but never played it’ or some excuse like that. If they’re not in their ‘comfort zone’, they shy away from playing. Sound familiar? If you are one of these people, this book is especially for YOU!
