Improve Your Timing, Tone, and Tremolo

Don Julin, author of the best-selling "Mandolin For Dummies," has developed a reputation for being one of the most eclectic mandolin players/teachers on the scene today. Based in Traverse City, Michigan, Don has been playing, teaching, and writing music with the mandolin for over 35 years.

His workshops, classes, or private lessons feature a hands-on approach focusing on developing good left- and right-hand skills, along with a dose of ear training and music theory. Don spends much of his time teaching at mandolin camps around America and running the online mandolin school Mandolins Heal The World.

Whether you play fiddle tunes, rags, bluegrass, classical, jazz, or Led Zeppelin, a well-organized right hand is essential to mandolin playing.

Alternate picking, down-strokes, tremolo, and jig-picking are the most crucial techniques for the mandolin player to master.

This workshop includes tunes and exercises designed to build right-hand strength and coordination.

I really hear the difference in my playing and so have others. Thanks Don!"
