What our students are saying
The Folk Music Academy is the Rolls Royce of online music education
Everything is so well produced and the teachers are well known, they are top-notch in their field. Not just some random dude who's trying to teach the guitar solo from Roxanne. It's really high quality and I can really recommend it.
Thomas Birch
Learn at your own pace
I recommend the Folk Music Academy to everyone. It’s rare to find resources that truly teach a groovy, authentic style, and this one lets you learn at your own pace.
Renee Vaughn
Great for multi-instrumentalists
I think this platform is really great for someone like me who plays different instruments. You can sneak into this lesson, you can learn from from this person. It's really great and I highly recommend it among my students and my fellow musicians.
Silvio Fantauzzi
The Scandinavian styles are unique
For me, a lot of it was, for one, the variety of different styles that you can have all in one platform. I think a lot of platforms might be like specifically Irish music or specifically another type of music. And also I think it's more unique with the Scandinavian styles.
Susana Iglesias Baker
I just got to learn that tune
I saw an instruction video and said to myself: I just got to learn that tune. Then I saw that it had a lot of exciting content. So I thought I just had to try it.
