Beginning Mandolin is for absolute beginners. You don't have to have any musical background to begin playing. The class will introduce all the basics of playing mandolin - forming chord shapes, playing melodies, tuning and rhythm. By the end of eight weeks you'll have learned multiple songs in different styles. We'll give you all you need to get started.

Despite the rising costs and lower funding streams that are affecting cultural institutions, Jalopy still wants to be a home for everyone seeking to learn and develop their musical practice. Therefore, this semester, we are offering the classes based on a sliding scale, inviting each student to choose a price based on their income level. Those of you who can afford to pay more than the breakeven cost, will be making it feasible for Jalopy to give scholarships to those who cannot afford the courses.

Please note that these numbers are only suggestions, and you are free to pay what feels manageable and appropriate for you based on all your life's circumstances, not just annual income. As usual, you can inquire and apply for financial aid by emailing [lynette@jalopytheatre.org](mailto:lynette@jalopytheatre.org).

Sliding Scale Chart based on Annual income:
$0 - $20k / year: scholarship (partial or full depending on availability)
$20k-$30k / year: $300
$30k - $40k / year: $350
$40k -$50k / year: $400
$50k -70k / year: $450
$70k and up: $500
