Cesar Moreno

Join Cesar Moreno as we explore the basics of improvisation on the mandolin. Using common jam circle songs, we will learn how to locate melody notes and how to use chord tones and double stops to improvise melodies on the mandolin. Participants will learn how to use the melody of the song as a launch pad for improvising when it's their turn to take a break. This is an advanced beginner to intermediate mandolin class. Participants should be familiar with the G and A scales on the mandolin and should be able to accompany themselves and a soloist by chopping or strumming.
