WORKSHOPS THIS MONTH

Monroe
Jam Lab

Join Christopher Henry and Bluegrass Hall of Famer, David McLaughlin, for an exclusive, monthly deep dive into the timeless catalog of Bill Monroe. Each month we’ll focus on one iconic song and one powerful tune (instrumental) guiding you through the intricacies and nuances of Monroe’s unparalleled style. With expertly crafted study materials such as demo and practice videos created by your teachers, you’ll have all you need to experiment and explore the featured device we will be focusing on for the month. That's not all - each session we will welcome a special guest musician who will bring their own unique perspective and expertise, offering a richer, more immersive learning experience. During the workshop, students will have the opportunity to play and be coached by the instructors.

Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, deepen your understanding, or simply celebrate the music of a bluegrass legend, this workshop is your backstage pass to the world of Bill Monroe.

NMM Monthly Workshop
Train the Ear
Tame the Fear
Finding Your Voice with the Mandolin

Bridge the gap between singing and playing. In this workshop you'll learn how your voice and your picking can grow together-how singing not only complements your mandolin playing, but actually strengthens your timing, phrasing, and overall musicianship. This workshop is for everyone - if you have a voice, you can sing. And here's the truth: if you're serious about playing bluegrass or traditional music, you'll need to sing eventually-so why not begin now? You will be in good company!

With practical ear-training tools and a relaxed, welcoming vibe, you'll gain the confidence to sing out and pick strong, bringing your whole

musical self to life.
