10 Minute Tune-Ups

Posted on by Heidi Herzog

Come join us on Tuesday nights, 7:00 pm Central Standard Time, as we are led on a mini-tune-up session by one of our world class instructors.

This LIVE broadcast will be on FACEBOOK: MONROE MANDOLIN CAMP page.

Get your instruments tuned up and ready to go.  We’ll have a series of building block sessions to help you on your musical journey into the world of Bill Monroe’s music.  Special guest artists will also be invited.  Each week we will announce what instrument and instructor will be leading, and what specifics will be worked on.  Make sure to “LIKE” this facebook page to receive notifications about each weekly event!  If time allots, questions will be fielded as well.
