Instruments We Teach:
* Guitar * Banjo * Violin/Fiddle *
* Ukulele * Mandolin * Voice *
Adults and Children * Beginners through Advanced
We have been offering lessons here at Bucks County Folk Music since we opened in 1966 and, from the beginning, we have had instructors that not only know how to play well, but also know how to teach well.
Our lessons are tailored to each individual student and we do not use "cookie cutter" approaches. Our teachers will talk with you and work to develop lessons based on what you wish to learn and what will work best to get you there. You will learn more quickly and, more importantly, with more enjoyment.
As your lessons continue, you and your teacher will continue to collaborate on your progress and your goals.
