TWO MANDOLIN WORKSHOPS - Beginners, and Intermediate Plus

Anna from Kelburn

Beginners 10 - 11am (one hour); or Intermediate + 1 - 3pm (two hour).
Space is limited - book in time for Sunday 24 August 2025 ...
Step into the rare air of mandolin mastery with Nathan Torvik, one of New Zealand’s most quietly brilliant multi-instrumentalists. These workshops are shoulder-to-shoulder with a true maestro.
Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned picker, Nate helps develop your skill whatever your level.
His approach is intuitive, flexible, and energising. He shares a range of everything from cerebral theory insights and practical techniques to hot licks, jam grooves, and even the occasional musical mind-bender.
🎵 Chord inversions
🎵 Finger-blistering lead tricks
🎵 Tailored tips based on your experience level
🎵 Easygoing jam time and spontaneous learning moments.
Known for his work across numerous lineups and styles,
Nate brings a rare mix of technical firepower, theoretical depth, and playful warmth. This isn’t a lecture—it’s a launchpad.
“He’s pretty damn good at making sure everyone walks away with something valuable. It’s not just a workshop—it’s a musical awakening.”
This is a special chance to learn from one of the country’s most respected 'string whisperers'.
Beginners $20/$15 unwaged / Intermediate+ $30/$20 unwaged
