Student Stories
Trusted by Learners & Musicians
“I enjoyed my mandolin lessons with Finbar - we took lessons as a group and he was able to pace the teaching to each person's ability. He has a very gentle and patient teaching style.”
Diana Slim
Beginner Mandolin Student
“I know Finbar through playing with him at gigs and sessions, where he brings brilliant colour to the music through his skillful, thoughtful backing. As a teacher he draws on strong music theory across a range of traditions from blues to folk, and demonstrates the &quo;why&quo; behind how harmonies work”
