Berkeley, Calif. — Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenberg have announced their first MandoKids workshop to be held August 24 at The Freight and Salvage Coffee House as a part of the venue's continued music education programs for young musicians.

Children aged 9-14 will have an opportunity to study with two world class mandolinists and will spend the day engaged in basics including how to properly hold the instrument, left- and right-hand basics, simple chords and strumming patterns, tremolo, sing-alongs, and bluegrass, classical, pop and folk songs melodies.

Beginners are welcome and instruments will be available to those without access to a mandolin.

An Early Bird admission rate is available for $120 with the rate increasing to $130 August 16. Advance registration is strongly encouraged as a sell-out is anticipated.

About the instructors:
