Mickey Cochran is an acoustic purist, 5 string banjo, 6 string banjo, 12 string banjo, octave mandolin, mandola, dobro, fiddle.... if that is your genre, submit your song for a professional critique.
Mickey Cochran has over 30 years' experience as a professional multi-instrumentalist. His dedication to acoustic music continues today through his writing, teaching, recording and web development career.
He has also worked for many years as a music instructor utilizing his own teaching methodologies; these very same unique methods are well reflected throughout his published titles. Mickey always believed that it's far more valuable to establish a solid foundation with proper positioning on an instrument before learning one song after another as is usually taught in standard songbooks. His dedication to acoustic music continues today through his writing, teaching, recording and web development career. "
