Watch Scott Teach

“Scott makes it fun to learn. He got me jamming in no time. Best teacher ever.”

“Scott is mister mandolin man sharing his love of music. I couldn’t believe I was jamming right away and I love it. ‘Hey, We’re Jammin’!’”

“After a short time it becomes more comfortable as Scott was always encouraging.”

“Mr. W’s world is music and his enthusiasm is contagious. He always is fun and he has taught us so much.”

“He’s patient and fun. Easy learning. Now I’m a picker.”

“Scott really engages the class. He quietly nudges you into singing and the ever-fearful lead.”
