Revered throughout the world, Lichtenberg’s tour schedule has taken her through the US, Canada, Europe, Mongolia and Japan. Her global perspective and love for the European classical style of mandolin translates beautifully into the online lessons she’s poured her heart and soul into. From arpeggios to cross-picking to tremolo, Lichtenberg’s lesson content is all encompassing.

“Each year we survey our online community to learn what they’d like to see offered. Last year, the request was for classical mandolin, so we got the very best. Mandolin doesn’t get any better than Mike Marshall for bluegrass mandolin, and Caterina Lichtenberg for classical.”
