Welcome to the eighteen episodes of Monterey County Pops! Pros Teach. In these programs produced by Access Media Productions (AMP) in Monterey, California, our players explain the history and traditions of their instrument and give an intermediate level master class.

​

This series was produced by MCP! Vice President, Doug Lee, and directed by MCP! Music Director, Dr. Carl Christensen. The programs were filmed and edited in the AMP studios in Monterey by AMP’s technical staff and are part of MCP!’s commitment to support school music programs.
