Teaches Mandolin  

Learn to play the mandolin
from the author of Mandolin For Dummies.

Don Julin

Don Julin, author of the best-selling Mandolin For Dummies (Wiley, 2012) and founder of the online mandolin school Mandolins Heal The World, is widely recognized as one of the most eclectic and innovative mandolin players and educators on the scene today.

With more than 20 albums of original music to his name—and contributions to countless others—Julin’s compositions have been featured in a wide range of network and cable television programs. His recent clients include HBO, NBC, Showtime, Bravo, and National Geographic Explorer. His latest release, Fractured Fiddle Tunes (2024), reimagines traditional fiddle tunes with a fresh, modern twist.

Julin also played a pivotal role in launching the career of bluegrass sensation Billy Strings. From 2013 to 2015, the duo toured the U.S. extensively—logging over 500 shows in a mini-van—and earned a devoted following among bluegrass fans of all ages. Together, they recorded two acclaimed albums: Rock of Ages (2012) and Fiddle Tune X (2014).
