Don Julin's "Jazz Is Not Dead" Mandolin Workshop
Don Julin, author of the best-selling Mandolin For Dummies (Wiley 2012), and founder of Mandolins Heal The World (www.mandolinshealtheworld.com) is regarded as one of the top mandolin instructors on the scene today. His workshops, classes, or private lessons feature a hands-on approach focusing on developing good left and right hand coordination, along with a dose of ear training and music theory.
Don Julin's "Jazz Is Not Dead" is a six-week ZOOM mandolin workshop that focuses on some non-bluegrass elements of mandolin playing. Each week will introduce a new tune, beginning with the melody, followed by chords & rhythm patterns. Once you can play the melody and the chords, we will cover some improvisational concepts on using scales and arpeggios to create a great solo.
