Jalopy Jr. Folk: Beginner (Ages 8-12)

Welcome to Jalopy Jr. !

We are focused on building community and teaching folk and traditional music. We have a place for every level of learner and every financial situation. Along with the Fabulous Jalopy Theatre and School of Music, we offer private and group classes to people of all ages from newborn to adult.  The experienced teachers at Jalopy are here to encourage musical exploration through singing and playing instruments like fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, ukulele, percussion, and more!  Rental instruments and financial aid are available!

In the Jr. Folk beginner program, students have fun while learning how to play an instrument and singing songs! Students have a choice of playing; mandolin, ukulele, fiddle, banjo, and guitar.  Students will play songs in the keys of G, D and A , and keep good rhythm while strumming, playing melodies and singing. Repertoire is all selected from classic folk music, old-time, bluegrass, country, and sometimes popular tunes. Music is chosen at an appropriate difficulty and age level for students aged 8-12 years.  Students often start with no prior musical knowledge or are still in their first couple years of playing an instrument.  

Instruments are available to rent at Jalopy Theatre if you inquire ahead of time.
