MANDOLIN GROUP CLASSES

The western MA contingent of Mandolin New England has started rehearsing in person again at my studio in Granby.  We rehearse Wednesday nights at 7pm.  We're always looking for people to join us on mandolin, mandola, mandocello or bass!  Use the contact form on the sidebar to let me know if this is something you're interested in.  We are currently working on Mozart's String Quartet No. 14 "Spring" for a 2022 concert, and the Bach Double for 2 mandolins and orchestra for a September 2021 concert.

PRIVATE (IN PERSON) LESSONS IN GRANBY

I am back teaching out of my studio in Granby, in person again! What a relief.  I have lots of openings for mandolin and fiddle lessons.  Visit my lessons page to learn more, or use the contact us form on the sidebar to contact me.  Think about the days and times that work best for you.  I'm currently free the following days:

Mondays 3-4pm
Tuesdays 4-7pm
Wednesdays 3-5pm
Thursdays 3-4pm
Fridays 3-5pm

WEDDING CEREMONY MUSIC

Unfortunately, my wedding duo band Celticado is no longer available for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours.  I am, however, still available on fiddle and mandolin for any and all of the tunes we performed together.  You can contact me here, or @asocontact on Instagram to find out more about weddings.  I put together a page with some recordings that you might find interesting relating to wedding music here.

I Manage Music for Weddings

Since 1986, I have been working with a variety of musicians including solo/strolling violinists, harpists and singers; trios and quartets; chamber ensembles; rock and blues bands; and DJs.

I'm happy to answer any question you might have about planning music for your special day including ceremony music, cocktail hour, dinner music, reception/dance, soiree music as well as music for the various transitions in an event.

FWIW, I am located in Western Massachusetts, near Amherst College. Most of the weddings I work with are in New England, specifically Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, although I have managed music for weddings in Maine and New York state.

To learn about the musicians and ensembles I can provide, as well as ask me any questions, feel free to call 413-561-2275 any time or use the contact box on the sidebar!
