    Amazing and well-organized learning experience. Will definitely attend again. Highly recommended. For me one of the highlights was seeing how welcoming, friendly, and accommodating everyone was to a beginning picker like myself. When I got there Thursday evening, I was blown away by how good everyone was. It was definitely intimidating. I honestly didn’t want to ...

    MonMan Camp is the best place to learn from and be inspired by some of the very best Monroe Style mandolin pickers out there! Well organized and crammed full of workshops, presentations and jams all set in a beautiful campground forty minutes outside of Nashville, TN.

    Traveling from Australia, I’ve attended many Monroe Mandolin Camps and at every camp I’ve learnt a lot. Each time following the camp, I’ve had many hours of practice developing my skills as a mandolin player. Tuition has been excellent featuring a diverse team of professional Mandolin players. Mike Compton, David Davis, Roland White, Skip Gorman, Richie ...

    Monroe Mandolin Camp 2016 was my first experience at a music camp. As a beginning mandolin player, this camp was incredible. The instructors were so interested in helping, lending their experience to help you learn. They were always available to answer questions, show you a lick, give instruction outside of the scheduled class or just ...

I have many, many instructor friends, luthier friends like Paul Duff and Will Kimble, and students from USA and abroad. I ...

    I enjoyed Monroe Mandolin Camp very much. Very laid-back and comfortable setting, met some great folks who I will be friends with forever. The most impressive part was the accessibility of the instructors, ever ready to pick or answer a question (David Davis rules!). Listening to Raymond Huffmaster’s and The Bluegrass Boys stories was a ...
