Mandolin Lessons in Sopchoppy. Amazing Teachers.

I have been playing mandolin for about five years now. What started as a Led Zeppelin obsession has since moved towards a Chris Thile obsession...including studies following his learning methods.

You decide what we learn--we can start with learning to read and play from a book for steady, foreseeable progress and goals, or simply start with the chords of your favorite songs from the radio--we can even learn tab--or all three! In our first lesson, we will discuss what your personal goals are for the mandolin and formulate a plan for your individual success, based on the type of music YOU want to learn.

Students describe me as patient, fun, and encouraging, and as your mandolin teacher, you can expect me to work with you from where you are, and with subjects and curriculum that match what you are interested in learning. *Please check my availability before signing up, as my time slots are quickly filling up!* I look forward to meeting you!

I've been teaching for 30 years. My students have gone on to play professionally, have their songs on iTunes and teach at the college level. I typically use ‘’Mandolin Primer’’ or "Complete Mandolin Method" by Horne.

Country, folks and tradiitional

I've been playing mandolin for 9 years. I began my studies with Sharon Gilchrist, a former member of the Dixie Chicks! I teach folk, classical, bluegrass, jazz, blues, pretty much anything your heart desires! Feel free to bring me material that you really want to learn. I offer an open space for my students to explore whatever they like.
