Yes, indeed, we used to be the Mountain Music Folk School, and we are now the Folk School of Chattanooga. Our friends on Dayton Blvd. are reestablishing their lessons program at the Mountain Music store, and so to avoid any confusion, we’re adopting “Folk School of Chattanooga” as our new name. Please bear with us as we make all the necessary changes on the website, Facebook, emails, etc.
If you are one of our “fans” on Facebook, you’ll need to rejoin under our new name, as Facebook doesn’t allow for name changes on their business pages.

And just as an update, we’re really settling into our new location at 250 Forest Ave., in North Chattanooga. We’re busy here with lots of private students who fill the place in the afternoons and evenings, and our current semester of group classes, which just started a week ago. If you haven’t seen our new place yet, stop by! You’re welcome to drop in anytime and say hello, or come on a Friday evening in February or March at 7pm for our free music documentary film series!

Also, though our group classes have already started (and some of them are full!), we’re still accepting private students at any time. If you’re interested in taking lessons on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, clawhammer banjo, bluegrass banjo, or upright bass, we have a teacher for you!

The next semester of group classes will begin April 26th.
