Great teachers I have courses from both Sharon Gilchrist and John reischman on the mandolin. Both are outstanding courses and the teaching is top notch as of course is the playing. I especially like John's taste in mandolin music and Sharon's approach to improvising made easy.

The level of teaching is superb… The level of teaching in the dobro courses I've done is so well structured. Learn some technique and then learn songs to use tha technique. The level of detail given is great, I was never left confused or unsur. The ability to swap courses gives good flexibility.

My mandolin playing has improved hugely… My mandolin playing has improved hugely since becoming a member on Peghead. Sharon Gilchrist is an amazing instructor sharing her insights, experience and knowledge. I have found the snippets of theory she teaches to make the music make more sense and easier to remember. Aaron Weinstein’s workshop changed how I approach listening and learning about music. Many thanks to both. John Reischman’s teaching is a joy to watch and learn from. We tell people all the time about Peghead.

I have unsubscribed from the Ukulele… I have unsubscribed from the Ukulele lessons for a number of reasons: -In my opinion the sessions were too fast for a beginner. -Strumming patterns are not intuitive yet not well taught by the instructor - visual strumming pattern not presented well, perhaps up/down arrow diagrams would be better. -Chord patterns not always shown on the video - I had to look at the instructor's hand to check what chord I should be playing. I've been playing the ukulele for 9 months but found this course difficult and too fast. I viewed sessions many times and thus my progress was very slow. I wrote to you suggesting changes but the only response was for me to slow down the video. Quite disappointed as I was looking forward to this manner of learning. Peter

Stick with Well-known Tunes With the mandolin lessons, I did well with the tunes I knew. It's easy to pick out the melody on the instrument when you have the tune in your head. But there was one tune I did not know and I had trouble getting it. I just skipped it and moved on. No other criticism, the teacher did a good job.
