★★★★★Trip FetterIan Thomas is a five star banjo teacher. He is a great encourager and listener. He’s an extremely talented musician who obviously loves to teach. Ian and LFS earned five stars!
★★★★★Ashley HiltonMy 8 yr old son studies fiddle under the most kind, fun, and engaging instructor and has enriching opportunities to cut his chops playing at the frequent student showcases as well as jams! The Louisville Folk School provides a wonderful way to study music in varied genres like old time, bluegrass, blues, roots, and singer-musician. We aim to enroll in group classes one day soon with multiple members of our family getting the chance to learn and jam together! We’re so thankful for what LFS provides!
★★★★★Julie PurcellI can’t see enough about this very special organization. I’ve taken wonderful music classes there myself, and our child attended summer camp and was extremely happy there. From the teachers to the concerts and everyone involved, this place is so special… Go to a class or get involved!
