Roland White
Interview Date: June 18, 2008
Job Title: Musician
Roland White has played mandolin nearly as long as he can remember. Influenced by the Bluegrass and country music he heard as a boy, Roland created his own unique style, which has been a major influence on generations of students. Roland was interested in the methods and techniques of playing mandolin and soon developed his own approach to explaining and teaching the instruments to both beginners and seasoned veterans. With a series of method books and DVDs, Roland has become an expert on teaching not only the mandolin but other stringed instruments including the guitar and banjo.
