The Complete Mandolinist, a comprehensive American mandolin method published in nearly a century, has been written by Marilynn Mair, an internationally acclaimed mandolinist, recording artist, and teacher with over two decades of experience. This book presents a logical approach to mandolin technique, building upon the pioneering efforts of America's mandolin teachers from the early 20th century.
The method begins by establishing a foundation in basic technique and music reading, and then progresses through scales, arpeggios, tremolo, position work, shifting, rhythm studies, picking techniques, and duo-style, with carefully selected exercises and musical examples ranging from fiddle tunes and Brazilian choro to Vivaldi concertos and Beethoven sonatinas. The book's 224 pages reflect the wealth of musical knowledge that Marilynn Mair has acquired over the course of her distinguished career, which she has compiled here to encourage the versatility and intelligent musicianship required to become a more complete mandolinist.
Designed to enhance the learning experience, The Complete Mandolinist provides access to online audio, allowing students to hear the musical examples and exercises performed by the author. This feature enables learners to compare their own playing with the recorded performances, facilitating a deeper understanding and mastery of the material.
The comprehensive nature of this method, combined with Marilynn Mair's expertise and the incorporation of diverse musical styles, makes The Complete Mandolinist an invaluable resource for mandolin students and enthusiasts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, this book offers a structured and engaging approach to developing your technical and musical abilities, ultimately helping you become a more complete and versatile mandolinist.
