things to do in naples 'Plays the Neapolitan Mandolin'

The masters of the Neapolitan Mandolin Academy welcome you to their quarters in the heart of Naples to recount their passion for the mandolin instrument and its traditional repertoire, one that ranges from ancient music to music of the 1900s.

Their story will take you on a journey through the history of the Partenope, and you'll have the opportunity of playing the
initial simpler notes with the guidance of the masters, and thanks to the availability of the instruments provided by the association.

This experience will leave in your hands the feeling of having played the most well known classics of Neapolitan song, rather than the most
performed themes or the incipit of the sonatas of the Baroque era.

The experience is organized as an ensemble music workshop for those without prior experience in the field, no previous knowledge is required. We start from zero for everyone. Comprised of: Simple history of the instrument and its literature; Left and right hand settings; First easy notes; Notes in first position; Ensemble music; Most well-known mandolin themes.
