About this collection
Alfreds Basic Mandolin Library Sheet Music
Start your mandolin journey with Alfred's Basic Mandolin Library, a series of beginner method books designed to guide new players from their first notes through early repertoire. Ron Manus and Greg Horne's carefully sequenced lessons build technique and reading skills at a pace that works for self-taught musicians and students taking lessons. These foundational methods come in multiple formats, so you can choose the support that fits your learning style, from traditional book-only editions to versions paired with audio and video instruction.
Who it's for
- Mandolin students starting from absolute beginner level
- Private teachers and instructors introducing students to the instrument
- Self-taught adults picking up mandolin for the first time
What's inside
- Five beginner method books in the Alfred's Basic Mandolin Library series
- Methods 1 and 2 available with CD, DVD, or online video and audio formats
- Step-by-step lessons covering fundamentals, note reading, and technique
Things to consider
Method 1 is the true starting point, so begin there even if you're an experienced musician new to mandolin. Decide between formats based on how you learn best: the revised Method 1 with online video and audio offers the most interactive instruction, while the book-and-CD versions provide essential audio without the visual component. If you're teaching, both Method 1 and Method 2 follow a logical sequence, so plan to move through them in order as your student progresses.
