Ian Thomas is a five star banjo teacher. He is a great encourager and listener. He’s an extremely talented musician who obviously loves to teach. Ian and LFS earned five stars!

I can’t see enough about this very special organization. I’ve taken wonderful music classes there myself, and our child attended summer camp and was extremely happy there. From the teachers to the concerts and everyone involved, this place is so special… Go to a class or get involved!

Amazing, friendly, supportive place for learning folk music, bluegrass, old time, and more! Take lessons on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo from rank beginner to advanced repertoire classes. Vocal, harmony, and ensemble classes, too. Top notch, professional teachers. But the very best thing is the supportive community. If you're looking for a folk music home in Louisville, come join the family.
