WHAT THE FOLK?
What is a Folk School and why do you need to know about it?
Folk Schools originated as a way for communities to learn from each other, especially vital to communities that didn’t have access to “formal education”. Folk Schools create an environment that encourage People teaching People, rather than a classical education approach of Professor and Student.
Folk School of Fayetteville is continuing this model by providing space for musicians to learn from each other,
for new players to learn, and for long time musicians to develop new technique and skills …
this is available to ALL the FOLKS (people).
Folk School is open to all genres, identities, and cultures,
and is excited to host music that is as dynamic and varied as our community.
