Monroe Mandolin Camp

The Monroe Mandolin Camp missions are to preserve and promote traditional roots and blues influenced Bluegrass music as created by Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass music. MMC does this by presenting programs that help players understand the culture of the times that created bluegrass music, and gives them techniques they can apply to their own musical performances and practices. By preserving traditional original bluegrass music, we use the transformative power of music to foster relationships while building community worldwide; we educate contemporary music enthusiasts about the fundamental building blocks, stylistic elements and techniques unique to traditional BG music. MMC seeks to provide access to the arts for traditionally underserved artists and constituents.
