This is an online class in Improvers Mandolin. Participants

should know the basics of the mandolin and 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.

    The class is conducted twice each week, so if you can't make the morning class, you can come to the evening class the same day, and vice versa. You can even attend both if you so wish!

    The fee for the ten-week term is £60.00, or £90.00 for the Improvers class and the Intermediate class). Details of how to pay can be found on the Mandolin Classes payment page.
