I learned how to play mandolin for 'A Mighty Wind!'
When I was 12 years old I discovered Bill Monroe and my dad got me a mandolin.
I don't know how it got around that I play a lot of instruments. I really don't. I play the guitar and the mandolin.
It couldn't have been more nerdy or bizarre, playing the clarinet. But I studied classical clarinet, went to the high school for music and art in New York City, and then found the guitar and the mandolin after it.
I'm a massive tennis fan! I love it to bits. I wish I could play, but I am worried that the muscles required for tennis are sort of in direct opposition to those required for mandolin playing.
At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.
That song has the full extent of my mandolin abilities; I'm not a good mandolin player at all.
I started playing mandolin when I was three or four years old because I was too small to be playing guitar. As I got older and more responsible with holding instruments, I was allowed to play my mom's guitar that she had.
