    Default Places that provide mandolin lessons in MN

    Hi, I would like to get into playing the mando, but I do not know of any mandolin teachers or places that provide mandolin lessons in Minnesota (USA). I live in the Bloomington, and if anyone has any helpful pointers or recommendations, I appreciate it.

    You could give the Pickin Parlor a try:

    Café member Fred Keller lives not too far from the Twin Cities & visits there often. He's a real nice guy and a fine player. Send him a PM.

    Hey York--and thanks a ton Mike!. Feel free to PM me here, shoot me an email at fkeller AT scicable DOT net, or I do teach at least one day a week (Thursdays right now) at Blackbird Music: Cedar and 35th Ave. in South Minneapolis. Homestead Pickin Parlor is great too, can't go wrong there.

    I'm resurrecting this thread from 6 years ago as I have the same question. I'm about an hour north of the cities though and would would prefer to find someone closer than MSP or STP. Anyone available around the St. Francis/Cambridge/Isanti area?

    Haven't heard from him much lately but Fred Keller was in Sandstone. Try finding him or look up his band "The Skally Line". Might try Eric Platt in St Paul or find out who he would recommend.
