Willie Mandeville is an American guitarist and lutenist currently based in Trondheim, Norway. He grew up surrounded by acoustic music and earned his bachelor's degree in classical composition at the Boston Conservatory and his master's degree in Music, Communication, and Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. While living in Laramie, Wyoming, he accidentally rediscovered his bluegrass and jazz roots and began exploring the common threads between his regimented classical training, contemporary improvisation, and the acoustic music scene.
Willie is passionately interested in guitar pedagogy and education. He teaches primarily remote lessons, using a flexible four-camera set-up that ensures the best possible experience for each student.
