Since its founding in 1990, the Calliope School of Folk Music has given thousands of students the chance to explore the rich folk heritage of western Pennsylvania. The Calliope School is one of the few schools in the region offering courses in folk instruments and singing, keeping the endangered art of making and sharing music alive.

Learn at your own pace in a friendly, non-competitive setting. Whether you’re starting a new instrument, brushing up on rusty skills, or seeking advanced training, you’ll receive quality instruction from the best folk artists in western Pennsylvania at a fraction of the cost of private lessons. Classes are held on the Winchester Thurston School campus in Shadyside and are designed to fit your busy schedule. Terms run for eight weeks each fall, winter, and spring, with occasional shorter workshops.

Refunds, Pro-rates, and Cancellation Policy: We will issue refunds only if Calliope cancels a class due to insufficient enrollment. If that happens, we will notify you in advance and issue a prompt refund or credit. Classes may not be prorated. We will email course information before class begins.
