Barry O.
Mandolin Tutor, Teacher
Harlow, England
profile / Barry O.
I have acquired a wealth of experience within the music business, with a semi-professional involvement that has spanned over thirty years. I didn’t pick up the electric guitar until I was seventeen, but I was playing in a band within six months due to my obsession and methodical self-teaching. I now play several related instruments i. e. acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, mandolin and the diatonic harmonica. I offer lessons on all these instruments. I became a music teacher at a relatively late stage in my career, in fact it happened almost by accident! I had just been made redundant from an engineering position, and was killing time in a local music shop by trying out a guitar (October 2002). The proprietor was evidently impressed with my playing, because he asked if I was interested in taking on students. My first students were all originally customers of this shop (Muzart, in Bishop’s Stortford). Another local music shop in Harlow (Tones) has also been kind enough to allow me to advertise in their premises for students. I have since become a member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors. and the Musicians Union. I consider myself as one of the lucky people whose hobby and interest have grown into a successful living.

Campbell Testimonials :- David Pollard, Airdire When my son (11) wanted to learn to play the guitar we looked around for a tutor to teach him and are very happy to have found Campbell. I could write this review myself explaining how his playing has developed and progressed over the last 9 months and how good Campbell is at encouraging him etc. However since it is my son who is getting the lessons I asked him instead and he said: "playing guitar is cool, but playing with Campbell is much more fun. We would definitely recommend Campbell. Audrey Tweedie, Airdrie Campbell is pleasant, patient and takes time with his students, nothing is ever a bother, my nine year old shouts Campbell's here the minute she sees his car, he is also teaching my 50 year old husband, and we have nothing but praise for him . K. Hart, Newarthill Campbell has taught my son from the day he had his first Guitar. My son is not only able to play with confidence but at a level where if wanted has the ability to take on his own students at only 17years old. A. Dunn, Carluke, Wishaw Campbell has been teaching my son for almost two years. Campbell is very professional and enthusiastic. My son enjoys his lesson very much. Campbell is good at motivating and encouraging my son to practice. I highly recommend Campbell as a guitar tutor. A. Campbell, Airdrie We have had Campbell as our daughter's tutor for over six months and he has helped her a great deal. He seems very thorough in his approach and more importantly he shares his love of the guitar and music and has increased her confidence no end.

The Enchanting World of Mandolin: A Journey into Learning the Instrument

The melodious twang of a mandolin evokes images of quaint Italian streets or traditional folk gatherings. This small stringed instrument is rich in history and offers a captivating journey for those eager to learn its charms. In this article, we explore the fascinating world of the mandolin and the joys of mastering this captivating instrument.

The Mandolin's Origins and Evolution

The mandolin traces its roots back to the lute family, which originated in the Mediterranean during the Renaissance era. Over time, it evolved into the instrument we know today, gaining popularity across Europe and eventually reaching the United States. Its unique design, with eight strings paired into four courses, contributes to its distinct sound and versatility.

Understanding Different Styles

One of the most appealing aspects of the mandolin is its adaptability to various musical genres. Whether you're interested in classical, bluegrass, folk, or even rock, the mandolin has a place in each. Diverse playing styles, including tremolo, tremolando, and plectrum, offer players a range of expressive options.

Choosing the Right Mandolin

Selecting the appropriate mandolin is crucial for a beginner's journey. There are various types available, such as the A-style and F-style mandolins, each with its unique body shape and sound characteristics. A visit to a reputable music store or consulting a knowledgeable tutor can help you make the right choice.

Finding the Perfect Tutor

Learning the mandolin is an enchanting endeavour, but having a skilled tutor by your side can significantly enhance your progress. On TutorExtra, you can find experienced mandolin teachers across the UK who can guide you through the learning process, catering to your needs and skill level.

Understanding music theory is crucial for any musician, and mandolin players are no exception. Learning about scales, keys, intervals, and chord progressions will enable you to explore improvisation and create your own musical pieces.

Joining Mandolin Communities

Immerse yourself in the world of mandolin enthusiasts by joining local music groups or online communities. Collaborating with fellow musicians and attending jam sessions can inspire creativity and foster a deeper appreciation for the instrument.

Recording and Sharing Your Music

With advancements in technology, recording and sharing your mandolin performances has become easier than ever. Embrace the digital age by recording your music and sharing it on platforms like SoundCloud or YouTube to receive feedback and connect with a broader audience.
