I teach an adult evening class in Improvers Mandolin with the Scots Music Group in Edinburgh (Boroughmuir School - map). Ypu should know the basics of the mandolin, and have been playing for at least six to eight months.

During the course we'll be learning the techniques necessary to playing the mandolin, building up a repertoire of tunes, and learning about mandolin music from around the world.

Below is the schedule for the course up to this time. If you have any further questions, please ask (email me).
