Mandolin Lessons in Dallas, Texas

James Landrum leans against a brick wall and strums a mandolin.

Are you ready to learn how to play mandolin? 

Modern bluegrass (newgrass) has revitalized and repurposed instruments that might otherwise be fading from culture. Now even crossing over into use in pop and folk music, the mandolin’s bright tones and funky chord voicings can punch through the mix at your family reunion music jam. Now no one has to listen to Uncle Earl sing Take Me Home, Country Roads. You can just solo over it.

As a mandolin teacher, I employ a mix of classical and bluegrass, but that can be a foundation for using the instrument in any setting.

Violin players will enjoy the same tuning, adapted with a pick. The mandolin is hard work that rewards an investment. Let’s bring more mandolin to Dallas!

I’d love to explore this exciting and versatile instrument with you! I can come to your home for mandolin lessons, or you can swing by my studio in DFW.
