From Peter (/5): Really enjoyable and informative first lessons. On the face of it, I thought that transferring from fiddle to mandolin should be fairly straightforward with the similarities. Clearly I have much to learn and am looking forward to the challenges under Marcus’s expert guidance.
Reply from: Marcus: Thanks Peter, I will look after you I promise!… all the best
From Jane (/5): Setting up my lessons was a breeze as Marcus answered straight away. I'm really enjoying my lessons and have already made more progress than I expected to in the first few weeks. Marcus has responded thoughtfully to what I want out of the lessons, is very patient and has given me a range of materials to practise from at home. :)
Reply from: Marcus: Thanks Jane… my pleasure
