91 | 10/9/2019 20:17:24 | Sharon Gilchrist | https://www.sharongilchristmusic.com/contact | Mandolin, Bluegrass band class | CA | Unlike many bluegrass teachers, Sharon has formal music education (a Bachelor of Music degree in Mandolin Performance). Before that though, growing up, she learned mandolin (and bass) completely by rote. She brings both of these approaches to her teaching, giving her versatility and knowledge beyond many other teachers. Through this varied background and her 15 years of teaching experience, she has developed many different ways to teach and explain different concepts. If one way doesn't work for a student, she always has another approach ready to try. Her love for teaching and care for her students comes across in every lesson. She cares about her students as people and is committed to giving each one of them the time, attention, and encouragement they deserve. Lastly, she feels strongly about getting more women into bluegrass and does what she can to effect this change! | I have been their student | McKenzie Fulkerson-Jones | Bluegrass, new acoustic music genres | ||||||
