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 ...

Monroe Mandolin Camp 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 chat. ...

I have been to Monroe Mandolin Camp for three years now and love it. Sitting around eating pizza and refreshments, jamming with Mike Compton himself, and other instructors is pretty much a high point for me!! I have many, many instructor friends, luthier friends like Paul Duff and Will Kimble, and students from USA and abroad. I ...

I have attended Monroe Mandolin Camp each year it has been offered. I have made life-long friends and acquaintances that love and respect the traditional, Monroe-inspired Bluegrass music that I have loved and respected, especially the mandolin playing of Bill Monroe. not only do attendees have a great time at camp, but attendees are able ...

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 ...

Great experience!! This will be my 3rd camp, and as a beginner I felt welcomed and encouraged, Figured I’m learning what to learn, Getting to the roots of this music with guys who were taught and played with Bill, can’t get any closer to the source these days. Mike and Heidi work tirelessly to put ...

I’m glad that I made it. The teaching was over the top fantastic and the presentations were terrific, highlighted, for me by the Bluegrass Boys getting together to play and tell Monroe stories. A special thanks too, to the tireless efforts of Heidi for making sure of all or creature comforts and keeping things so ...

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. The attendees are enthusiastic mando-heads from all over the world, the food and beer is spectacular, you can have your mandolin ...

Monroe Mandolin Camp was the best music camp I have ever attended and one of the best weekends of my life. The camp was run with a lot of thoughtful detail. Holding the instructor concert at Carter Vintage Guitars, for example, was a really nice touch. Heidi and Mike clearly expended a lot of effort to ...

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 ...

The instruction, setting, food, players from around the world , the original Bluegrass Boys, world class luthiers and more. Don’t miss out next year. – Alec Hurt

The Monroe Mandolin Camp was a unique experience for three main reasons: The standard of instruction was very high and as a teacher myself I was impressed by the carefully structured learning sequence I encountered in my classes with Sharon Gilchrist which allowed me to grasp many concepts that had been confusing me for a long ...
