Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

March 4, 2006 | Berklee Mandolin

The mandolin is now a Principal Instrument at the Berklee College of Music!

You can learn the mandolin inside and out: chords, inversions, scales, etc. and apply your knowledge to whatever form of music you choose to play, from Jazz to Bluegrass to Celtic to Bach to Rock. Your private lessons would be with Professor John McGann.

A JazzMando favorite, McGann is a prolific author (Mel Bay Publications), educator, arranger, and veteran performer. currently a regular with the Wayfaring Strangers. A master of guitar, mandolin, dobro, and octave mandolin, he was U.S. National Mandolin Champion 1986, Winfield, Kansas. Of course, prestigious Berklee is world renown as one of (if not THE) top jazz institutions in the country. One more step for the credibility and viability of mandolin in the jazz realm. Congrats, John!
