Our Opening Night Party  Jam starts Wed, Sept 4th to kick off the 11th Annual MMC in style! Classes start Thursday, Sept 5th and run through Sunday, September 8th. There are 3 class periods a day on Th, Fri, Sat, and 1 class period of Sun. Classes are 1.25 hours each. Students self-select what class they will attend. Please note, this year, on Wed, Sept 4th, there will be a banjo class, a “Jamming 101”, Tutorials, and a “Mando-Tasting”.

Class levels range from Novice/Beginner, Beg/Intermediate, Intermediate, Int/Advanced, Advanced, and ALL.

Classes are offered in mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar, upright bass, old-time mandolin, songwriting, and vocal harmony singing. (Please note that Fiddle and Banjo classes are geared towards Intermediate players and above.)  Students are free to self-select any class they want (fiddle and banjo level requirements apply).  Class schedule will have class descriptions as well as their levels clearly listed. We highly recommend students to attend classes by various instructors as each instructor approaches material differently and teaches differently.

Special Presentations are scheduled each day mid-afternoon and led by special guests and sometimes instructors.

We will be including a Student Ensemble Showcase this year.  I

ndividual recording and video-taping of each class is up to the discretion of the instructor. Please check with your instructor for their policy. (By signing up and attending MMC, each participant consents and gives permission for photographs and video clips taken by MMC staff during camp to be used without financial compensation, unless agreed to in writing.)
