I have been using the Online Academy of Irish Music for several months now and have worked through the bouzouki classes, a tenor banjo class, and have begun to learn tinwhistle. Previously, I had...

I've attended a CMSA gathering and there are many players from the Bay area.

The Classical Mandolin Society of America (CMSA) has a list of teachers that you might take a look at. I expect that many of these would be amenable to Zoom lessons. They also have a list of...

My own involvement in HIP (on a different instrument) showed that it's necessary for immersion with other researchers and players, which constitute the best body of existing knowledge and practices. ...

I also have very specific interests and found a teacher in a different country with deep expertise in playing the type of music I want to play on the mandolin. I had good results straying from the...

I don’t have experience with either of the courses you mentioned, so apologize for not directly addressing your question. In reading your initial explanation and musical interests, though, Mike...

I’d like to share an experience that might inform someone else on their quest towards whatever musical goals they pursue.

I found these Taylor Thermex picks yesterday at A# Music in Kent (not a bad little store for mostly guitars).

For about $2 a pick I figured I'd give them a go!

They remind me of Dawg picks...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here on MC. I have been playing the mandolin for about a year now, and have benefited in so many ways from this site. Thanks for your contributions.:mandosmiley:

When I was working on my two Telemann books for Mel Bay I played (or attempted to play) through hundreds of pieces from many collections. One of my favorite books was the Barenreiter edition of the...

Jacktrip is the Stanford program. It optimizes what the data that is sent over the internet to reduce the latency problem. It does require some pretty specific setup work on the computer....

No, it’s supposed to make an instrument sound more in tune than if you tuned the strings to an equal temperament. There are numerous mathematical explanations for this which, in 50 years of playing...

I have a few newer Peterson tuners with that "sweetened" mandolin tuning but I've never been able to figure out what it's supposed to do, and I can't hear any improvement in the tunes I normally play...
