It's no joke trying to survive as an artist nowadays, and here at Little Folkies we harbor hard-working, loving, enthusiastic, and talented musicians and give them a chance to make part of their living by playing music! Being a Little Folkies teacher gives you, an established musician or aspiring musician, the opportunity to work on your musical and performance skills, enhance your knowledge of folk music, and help spread the joy of unfettered, from the heart, acoustic folk music. It is a job with a purpose, and every time you teach, you make a difference to a child and their family, one song at a time!
Check out the Little Folkies Collection to familiarize yourself with the music!
“A good teacher is always emotionally and energetically present.”
If you are going to teach a Little Folkies class, it's important that you are onboard with the Little Folkies core philosophy: Music is supposed to feel good! You don't need to be a trained musician to make good music. You don't need to play an instrument to make good music. All you need is your voice, your arms, your hands and knees, your fingers and feet, and a repertoire of good quality songs to sing.
Join our mission and help us spread our love of acoustic folk music!
