GFW
Improvers Mandolin
Location Hybrid*
Day/Time Mon, 7.15-9pm
Latest update 21 Nov '23 8am

My Improvers Mandolin class is aimed at players who know the basics of the mandolin or have been learning for at least a year.

During the course we'll be further developing the techniques necessary to playing the mandolin, increasing our repertoire of tunes, and learning about mandolin music from around the world. Booking is through the GFW website.

GFW Slow Session
I run a slow session before the classes, from 6.55-7.25pm to which everyone is invited to join in or just listen. See the Monday Slow Session page for further details.

* This is a "hybrid" class. The class normally will be conducted in the classroom, but there will an opportunity for people to join online using Zoom. Use the button below to join.
