Mandolin Tutor Books


There are many hundred mandolin tutors. Many of these will tell you where the notes are and give you tunes to play in various styles, but very few talk about the use of the plectrum and how to produce a good sound.

Here is a list of the ones I use:

  • Simon Mayor: The Mandolin Tutor
  • Ariane Zernecke: Mein erstes Mandolinenbuch and Mein zweites Mandolinenbuch
    An excellent tutor for younger children (up to 10 years of age) .....but in German. Have a look; you can still use many tunes. Her methodology is guaranteed to work. For more info go to www.duo-lorch.com/duolorchshop.html Or send an email (in English or German) to ariane@duo-lorch.com
  • Ranieri: A tutor in 2 volumes
    The books are for those of you who like romantic tremolo music. Plenty of nice tunes to play.
