Caffe Lena After School Folk Ensemble
Learn folk music at a legendary music venue in a group setting!
45 min classes starting at 2:45pm, 3:40pm, 4:35pm
Folk Ensemble is a unique way of teaching real world music skills. From the first lesson, students experience the power of making music together and feel how interdependent each note and strum is as they learn to play.
Each semester finishes with a recital for friends and family! (with Lena's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies, of course!)
