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.

For more information call 549-4979.
