    As the saying goes, “Swing is best played on a mandolin”.  No truer words have been spoken. Students will learn the ups, downs, ins and outs of swinging mandolin by way of chords, turn-a-rounds, rhythms, melodies and motif playing to build improvisation.  The workshop is designed for beginner and intermediate players and all charts will be in notation and tablature.
