The book Método de Mandolina begins at the very beginning of learning to play the mandolin starting with the basic tuning of the instrument how to sit position one?s head and hold one?s hands. There are many pages of exercises that lead to easy pieces and more difficult short works all in Spanish style.In this age of the Guitar it is remarkable to know that the mandolin was the most popular instrument throughout the Western world at the turn of the last century at the time of the publication of this book. For the most part at that time the virtuosi were considered to be Italian and the best instruments from Italian makers though many other companies were involvedin the production of many forms of the mandolin. This is ironic however as it is frequently asserted that the earliest form of lute or mandolin entered Europe with the Moors onto the Iberian peninsula in the shape of the oud. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries serious composers included lute parts in their major works and wrote pieces expressly for mandolinists and for the thousands of mandolin Orchestras that sprang up throughout Europe and in the New World. That Método de Mandolina remains available is a testament to its usefulness and the expertise of its author in giving teachers and students a volume from which to teach and learn.

This beginning Mandolin method book is based on the solid system created by Brian Wicklund for the best-selling books The American Fiddle Method. Master teachers and performers of the Mandolin BrianWicklund and Ben Winship use clear illustrations and lucid explanations to guide beginning Mandolin players through necessary skills such as efficiently holding the Mandolin fretting picking technique creatinggood tone chop chord and open chord backup. Students learn the techniques while mastering over thirty common jam tunes which they can practice with using the included audio online.

Arranged for Mandolin-Franz Wohlfahrt (1833 ??? 1884) a violin teacher in Leipzig Germany wrote several series of etudes including 60 Studies for Violin Opus 45 from which this book of mandolin studies was derived. Originally composed for his own teaching purposes over the past 100 years Wohlfahrt???s etudes have become standard works for beginning violin study the world over. Adapted for mandolin in standard notation and tablature some violin techniques had to be altered to make these studies accessible to mandolinists. The resulting book contains progressively arranged compositional gems that include scale tremolo arpeggio and position studies plus grace notes double-stops and other techniques???all terrific sight-reading material at an intermediate to advanced level.
