Our Wee Folk Classes introduce gentle sounds to your Wee Folk’s tender ears with sing-a-longs, stories, and basic children’s percussive instruments. We encourage all our little folkies to sing, dance, and play along with the music, led by our Wee Folk teacher Molly Hebert-Wilson. We also take time to introduce them to new instruments and age-appropriate folksongs alongside children’s music. Classes are based in music appreciation, learning rhythms, incorporating elements of early childhood education into music, and most of all FUN!

About The Teachers
Singer and children’s music instructor Molly Hebert-Wilson has degrees in Irish studies and Musical Theater from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. An actress, musician, and vocalist, Molly’s vocal styles range from classical to powerhouse belting. Molly imbues Irish, French and English language songs with character and meaning. She is the Director of the Great Groove Band, teaching and preparing children for performance at Philly Folk and other festivals. Molly also performs in the Philadelphia band, Rare Spirits.
Ms. Rachel’s Music Classes have been providing music education in lower income Pre-schools and High Schools in the Greater Philadelphia area since September of 2015. Her articulate style of encouraging children to express themselves through dance, music, and language have inspired many schools in the city to prioritize music in their curriculum where music education is no longer a requirement. She has worked with Music Training Center, The Penn’s Children Center, Girls Rock Philly, CCP (Community College of Philadelphia) Kindercare, Care-A-Lot Learning Center, Miss Marty’s Pre-School, Olney High School, Kensington CAPA, and YouthBuild.
In addition to teaching music, Ms. Rachel is an avid tap dancer and is also an accomplished musician performing solo and with her band Rachel Andie and the V Element at venues around the city and at the 2018 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. She also writes catchy and fun original children’s songs.
