Mike Marshall on Teaching Mandolin Online at ArtistWorks

In this video Mike Marshall shares some thoughts about teaching mandolin online through Video Exchange®, which he's been doing at ArtistWorks for over 4 years now. 

“The kind of freedom it gives both teacher and student is really the key to this. The student can make the videos when they’re comfortable and most relaxed, and I in turn find the right moment for me when I can respond and be really clear headed and focused and really get at the heart of that student’s issues...I’m very proud to be creating a kind of teaching archive here for the future generations as well as the folks who are online today.” - Mike Marshall

Mike Marshall has teamed up with Northfield Mandolins in their first "Artist Series" to design a line of new mandolins which aim to improve on existing designs of the instrument. It’s been a collaborative effort which Mike has been involved with each step of the way. 

“I see it as an ongoing process and a chance to really explore the boundaries of what makes a great mandolin.” - Mike Marshall

Mike is really excited with how they're turning out and expects them to be ready for the public sometime in the next few months. Click here to read more about it from Northfield's website and watch an interview with Mike about some of these new mandolins!
