Available Classes
Our Opening Night Party Jam starts Wed to kick off camp in style! Classes start Thursday and run through Sunday. 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, on Wed, there will be an “Introduction to Jamming 101” (All Instruments welcome), an “Intro to Right/Left Hand Technique” (led by Mike Compton), and an “Instrument-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 on Sunday morning. Each Instructor will choose one of their classes to perform together during the Student Showcase. More details at camp.
Individual 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.)
