So, unfortunate though it may be, the Old Town School must reserve the right to cancel a class due to insufficient registration. We will notify you by phone if we have to cancel a class in which you have enrolled, and we will gladly suggest an alternate class. You're in luck, the Different Strummer music store just so happens to rent instruments for most group classes. Call or stop by for more information and reservations. The Old Town School of Folk Music awards scholarships for private and group lessons to students based on financial need.
Awards are limited to three eight week sessions per year.
Renewals are awarded after recommendation by the scholarship committee. For information regarding scholarships for children and adults please contact Allison Sciplin at 773.751.3342. For events and concerts we also offer a limited number of free or discounted tickets. Thanks to Bob Sullivan for donating the guitars for the scholarship students in memory of his cousin Marty Gaugush. You heard correctly, volunteers at the Old Town School can earn points to be used for free concert tickets or group classes.
