If you’re looking for a fun and unique instrument for your child to learn, the mandolin might be just the thing. This small, stringed instrument has a bright, distinctive tone that will capture your child’s attention. During our mandolin lessons, your child will learn the basics of playing this versatile instrument, from how to hold and tune it to picking out melodies and chords. They’ll explore a variety of musical genres and develop their skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. Playing the mandolin is a great way to boost your child’s creativity, improve their coordination, and build their confidence as a musician. So, why not see where the mandolin can take your child’s musical journey?
A mandolin has four sets of doubled metal strings that are tied in unison, which adds up to a total of eight strings. The set of strings are tuned to the same note. A set of double strings is also known as a course.
Standard mandolin tuning are the notes, G-G-D-D-A-A-E-E.
For beginners just learning to play the mandolin, their fingertips are likely to be soft. When fretting a single note or a chord, the string will sink into the flesh of the fingers. When this happens, another part of the finger may be contacting another string. Over time, as players develop calluses, this occurrence becomes less likely, and the strings will not impact the fingers as they did when first playing.
Another reason for finger pain while playing is that the fingers are not angled properly as they contact the mandolin strings. If they are leaning over rather than straight up and down, they will touch an adjacent string.
With the school being conveniently located in Orange Park, it is just a short drive for our students from Fleming Island, Green Cove Springs, Oakleaf, and Jacksonville.
