Excellent Mandolin tutor

Jacob is very encouraging and I can’t believe how much I have learnt in just three lessons. I would definitely recommend lessons with Jacob for the mandolin!

Calum O
Calum's a brilliant teacher who listened and understood what I wanted from my lesson, prepared the perfect piece for me to practise and has followed up to see how I'm getting on.
As someone who is used to having to plough through a book with a grade at the end, it's lovely to be able to decide what it is that I want and actually just play for pleasure.
He completely understood what I needed to do to improve and practising has been fun!
