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

He's great as a teacher, helps you to build confidence, you feel comfortable and relaxed around him and what's quite important he has that rock star spirit!
As much as learning new skills it's very important for me that you're enjoying what you're doing and having great fun. Guaranteed you'll leave in a great mood!
