Cody Kilby | Grant Gordy | Eric Thorin |Natalie Padilla
Flatpicks are going to fly! Cody Kilby will be teaching the advanced group. Grant Gordy will be teaching the advanced intermediates and Eric Thorin and Natalie Padilla (whom you don’t always see on stage playing guitars but have it down!) will trade off with the advanced beginners and beginning strummers.

Joe K. Walsh | Ronnie McCoury | Sharon Gilchrist | Tom Murphy
We have some of the finest teachers in the mandolin world. Joe K. Walsh will teach the advanced players. Ronnie McCoury will teach the intermediates. Sharon Gilchrist will teach the advanced beginners and Tom Murphy will teach the beginning players. Targhee Music Camp founder and advisor Ben Winship will be also be around camp with his mandolin.

Jason Carter | Darol Anger | Jessie Burns
We have three amazing fiddle teachers this year and many other instructors who also play fiddle and will be part of camp in different ways. Between Jason Carter (Advanced), Darol Anger (Intermediate) and Jessie Burns (Advanced Beginners) we can cover a lot of ground. Jessie Burns will be using Celtic fiddle tunes in her class as basis for teaching in a very unique way that will benefit all styles of fiddle playing.

Rob McCoury | Chris Coole
Rob McCoury will lead the bluegrass banjo class. You can’t hear better traditional playing than his. He also runs a music camp, so you know his teaching chops are top shelf also. Assisting him will be Andy Gabel (Teton area banjo/ski instructor). For Old-Time Banjo class, Chris Coole has taught all over the country and we finally have him coming to Targhee!

Val Mindel | Alan Bartram
Val Mindel has helped so many people sing and sing big and beautifully. Her book “So You Want to Sing Folk Music” is a classic and we are honored to welcome her back to Targhee. Alan Bartram is known as the bassman with Del and the boys. If you’ve ever heard his standout singing you know we are in for a treat to have him teaching singing.

Joe Craven
Check out Joe’s words about this class and then magnify it just like everything Joe touches big time. People compliment his classes from years ago and tell how it is still influencing their music. If you want to take your music up a notch forever, take this class.

Darrell Scott
We’ve been blessed to have Darrell Scott teach songwriting here many times and every time people cherish the experience. He has an ability to work with a group and with the individual and their song. He can share motivation and the tools of his craft. He is selfless in this and his songwriting classes change lives.

Caroline Oakley | Simon Leone
We are very pleased to offer a children’s track this year for the first time. The class is for young musicians 8-14 years old who play an acoustic instrument (violin/fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, bass, cello, viola). The class will run from 9:30-11:30am each day of camp. Caroline Oakley and her son Simon have lots of experience facilitating music with young people in a fun and accessible way. The class will focus on learning traditional tunes and songs, and the ins and outs of playing music in a stringband setting. It will be helpful if children know some of the basic chords on their instruments. Purchasing this children’s class track is only for 2 hours each day and does not confirm attendance at the other workshops and concerts for the child or parents. Also, if your child is already picking up a storm and wants to play all day, they may be ready to join the grown ups, contact Thomas.
