30 Dec 11 - 05:24 PM (#3282137) Subject: Review: Dissertation on The Old Town School From: Stringsinger Tanya Su-kyung Lee has written the best account on the Old Town School of Folk Music that I have ever read. She really did her homework and it will give you an understanding of how the first Folk Music School started in Chicago in 1957. It has grown to be the largest non-profit music school in the country accommodating approximately. 6,000 students weekly. Tanya says It is possible to purchase copies from UMI/Proquest (the clearinghouse/database for all dissertations nationwide) The title is "Music As A Birthright: Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music and Participatory Music Making in the Twenty-First Century" It's a fine read, I think.
