Folk fest sponsors songwriting academy
The Sisters Folk Festival is
sponsoring an intensive songwriting academy September 3-5 at Camp Caldera
on Blue Lake west of Sisters.
The comprehensive songwriting
workshop features an emphasis on guitar technique.
Topics will include: The craft
of songwriting; performance; an historical perspective of Americana music;
guitar playing and accompaniment; and the business of songwriting.
Classes will be one to two
hours long, and there will be five classes total over three days.
Each teacher will provide
instruction on songwriting and one other elective yet to be determined.
There is a limit of 40 participants,
which will give a 1-11 teacher-student ratio. Four students and one educator
from the Sisters School District will receive a scholarship.
Tuition for the academy is
$250, which includes instruction, materials, camping (provided in teepees),
food, open mic opportunities and professional performances.
