Mandolin
Join the Rare Breed.
If you already know how to play fiddle, you can play mandolin, because the strings are the same! However, you will stand out a lot more because there are so few Mandolin Players in the world. We need you. At the end of this course, you'll know 13 songs, a handful of rhythms, and many picking solos. Whether your goal is to play rhythm in a band, or steal the show with your riffs, you'll be able to do it in 12 short weeks!

Meet Your Instructor!
Elisha began his music career at age 10 when he was somewhat forced to learn the violin to complete the family’s string quartet. A few years later, Elisha was introduced to traditional American fiddle music, and after
attending his first music camp in 2002, he was hooked.
Elisha went on to win numerous awards for his musicianship including the Washington State Fiddle Championship, West-Coast Guitar Flat Picking championship, Runner-up at the National Fiddle Championship, and the NW Regional Fiddle Competition. Along with his siblings, Elisha has made over 800 public performances around the US and Canada.
To date, Elisha has taught hundreds of in-person students on Guitar, Fiddle, and Mandolin, but his real passion is producing an incredible music experience for YOU, so that you can get a taste for the same life-long love of music he got touring the country, visiting camps, going to competitions, and growing up in a rich musical community—regardless of where you are at in the world AND regardless of your budget!
You can find Elisha soaking up the soul-filling evenings full of music with his own five small children and beautiful wife, or in the Voetberg Music Academy Community working with our incredible students.
