This is something we'd certainly like to see more of, Alan Epstein's upcoming Novice Mandolin Workshop for Aspiring and Beginning Mandolin Players. Taking place on Saturday, April 7 from 10:30am-12:30pm (cost is $35), anyone in within driving distance of Lansing, Michigan should consider encouraging their friends into checking out this frequently offered novice-level workshop at Elderly Music.

We all think in terms of our own personal advancement in master classes, private lessons, and festival workshops, but for our little eight-string wonder to really make an impact on the world, we need to continue to add more players. It's exciting to see founder and former director of the Pittsburgh Mandolin Orchestra, Alan Epstein tackle instruction in this sort of friendly and safe learning environment.

Nice going Alan!
