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 continued 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 …
available to ALL the FOLKS (people). 

Folk School welcomed all genres, identities, and cultures,
and strived to host music as dynamic and varied as our community.
