Reviews from Previous Camps
WOW!!!! What a great weekend everyone had, the venue was great and the instruction was top notch. I will definitely be back next year. Everyone I spoke to appreciated the patience and humbleness of all the instructors, you were all very approachable and made us feel at ease. The performances that you guys did was awesome. We all liked Bill Keith... he is definitely in a class of his own. His ability to disect the finger board is just mind blowing. Bill Keith's blood pulses with the rhythm of the gods. AWESOME WEEKEND!!!
Thanks again for a great banjo experience.
Hi Ross,
.......just want to compliment you,
Keith and Perry on a fabulous week-end. The teaching was exceptional, the meals
were terrific, the students were friendly, the books, etc. were appreciated and
the concert...whatcan I say, it was beyond belief! I never dreamed I would ever
hear such talent, let alone meet such amazing musicians! We all want you back
again so I hope you will be able to arrange it for next year.
Hi
Ross:
.......Thanks for the email. Just wanted to let you know how much
Jim and I enjoyed the weekend. We have never been to anything like that before
and it was quite a learning experience. Thanks for all your help.
Ross,
......the thanks is from us to you, for being such a giving host.
We all appreciate your efforts and hopefully conveyed our joy at meeting and learning
from each of the Banjo Camp instructors we now call friends.
PLEASE keep me
on the list for next year's camp should you be able to host such. If you require
any help with logistics pre camp, I can only speak for myself but I know this
was discussed in small groups, I would be all to happy to assist in any way you
might require. Media, posters, etc
.......I thoroughly enjoyed the
workshop and left with alot of new information upon which to build. My intention
is to attend the next Camp. This time I hope to be better prepared to attend the
Jam Sessions. Thanks again for your efforts and those of Ian and Bill. A very
enjoyable experience.
.......Ross, the thanks is from us to
you, for being such a giving host. We all appreciate your efforts and hopefully

......Ross: The camp was excellent. I could not make the last day but I definitely got my money's worth. My plan is to atend again next year.If I absorb even 1/4 of what was presented, I will be in the advanced group.
Student from Virginia.......I just want to thank you for putting on the Nova Scotia Banjo Camp. The instruction was great! I appreciated your insight by suggesting that I participate in the intermediate group. I really learned a lot and enjoyed the interaction with the other students. The concert was fantastic and I liked how you shared your take on the performance. Although I didn't get to see much of Nova Scotia this time, I'm hoping that next year the camp will be an "excuse" to allow me to return for a longer time with my family in tow.
......It was a terrific venue for such an event ... the pleasure was all ours to be in the presence of such great instructors , The food was fabulous and I so enjoyed the enthusiasm of all who attended ...(those with banjo fever know exactly what it meant to be in presence of 40 banjo players ) and I want to go again next year for sure.
......I had a good time at Banjo Camp. I'm playing and practicing banjo more now than I ever did and enjoying it so much.I'll always have fond memories of that weekend, it was so awesome with you and your two talented friends playing so incredible.

Instructor Information
Message from the Director, Ross Nickerson
I want to
stress that the workshops will be for all skill levels, this Banjo Camp will not be for just advanced students! In fact many students will be in
the beginning and intermediate skill level categories. Any advanced students that
attend will also be given special attention with their own class taught to them
with their present skill level in mind. The classes will be split into groups where students are close to the same level of proficiency with the instructors
rotating to the different groups. This approach will ensure that each student
will have an opportunity to work with each instructor with their present skill
level in mind. It's important to note that the students themselves will choose the skill level group they want to be in. No students will be forced to audition or be judged by the faculty to belong in a certain skill level group. Students have a good idea where they will be most comfortable and you will not be asked to be in a group you are not happy with. The workshops are about you, the student. It is very important to
me as the director that you find great benefit in the instruction and leadership
of the faculty as well as the class curriculum. It is also important to me that you feel comfortable to learn, as well as not feeling judged or have any of that type of additional pressure put on you.
