About Monroe Mandolin Camp

Using Bill Monroe's mandolin style as guide and the belief like-minded souls desire the sound of hard-edged, emotionally-charged traditional bluegrass, the Monroe Mandolin Camp was created.

Goals for camp are to:

• Present a curriculum that helps players understand the culture that created this music, and the techniques needed to apply this knowledge to their own musical endeavors.
• Educate contemporary mandolin enthusiasts about the stylistic elements and backbone of this art form.
• Preserve the music created and recorded by Bill Monroe.
