Together, Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenberg represent a vast trove of knowledge covering the entire history of the mandolin as well as a broad world view of the instrument today. Students will spend a full 1 1/2 hours with each of these master mandolinists. Mike will focus on technique, harmony and improvisation in the styles for which he is famous: bluegrass, swing, Brazilian choro and new acoustic music. As the mandolin professor at the University of Cologne in Germany, Caterina brings her wealth of knowledge of baroque, classical, and romantic mandolin techniques, repertoire, and history.
