Question 1

Can you teach yourself the mandolin?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can pick up a mandolin and begin strumming, but if you want to learn the fundamentals well, it’s best to learn with a private mandolin teacher. Even though the mandolin isn’t considered a terribly difficult instrument to master, if you’re learning on your own, you may pick up bad habits like poor posture or incorrect finger placements. That’s why we recommend learning with a certified teacher who can ensure that you’re building a strong foundation and grow your music skills from there.

Question 2

What is the best way to learn the mandolin?

Accepted Answer

We might be biased, but we believe our private mandolin lessons offer the best way to learn this instrument! That’s because we only work with certified teachers who have the skills and qualifications to help students of all ages and skill levels. What’s more, we offer in-person and online mandolin lessons. It means that you can learn in whatever format best suits your preferences.

Question 3

How long does it take to get good at the mandolin?

Accepted Answer

If you listen to your teacher’s instructions and put in plenty of practice, many beginner musicians begin getting the hang of this instrument within 90 days or so. However, it could take much longer if you’re looking to advance your skills and master more challenging mandolin music. Every student’s mandolin journey is unique, so it’s best to focus more on practicing and less on how much time it’s taking you to improve.
