WHAT MAKES A GREAT LITTLE FOLKIES VENUE?
We're looking for spaces that are:
Safe and toddler-friendly
Welcoming to babies, young children, and caregivers
Appropriate for live acoustic music
Large enough for at least 8 children plus caregivers
Accessible to families
Easy to find and get to
Available at a consistent weekly day and time
Supported by a venue excited to help build the program
We'll ask you to share photos and a 360° video of the proposed class space so we can understand the layout and determine appropriate class capacity.
what families experience
Little Folkies classes combine live acoustic music, singing, movement, rhythm games, solfège, listening, instrument exploration, and creative play.
Children explore rhythm, steady beat, tempo, pitch, melody, harmony, dynamics, musical expression, ear training, and musical patterns—not through formal music theory, but by singing, moving, listening, playing, and making music together.
Classes are designed to create a warm weekly ritual for both children and their grown-ups.
