SONGMAKERS is a class exclusively for graduates of THE ROOTS songwriting program.  The class strikes a vital balance between providing an ongoing curriculum of growth for the writers and weekly workshopping opportunities to gain feedback on songs and songs-in-progress.  Exercises range from idea generation to lyric development to song structure analysis to generating forward motion to creating contrast to so much more, all in the spirit of helping each writer cultivate and refine a unique writerly voice.

Members of the class typically range from full-time singer/songwriters to aspiring writers to points in between.  What they have in common:  the shared knowledge, vocabulary, and skills of THE ROOTS, a passion for their unique art, and a mutual respect for one another and the creation of songs that matter.

Eligibility:  Exclusively for graduates of THE ROOTS songwriting program.

When:  This course meets Saturdays, ongoing, 10:30am-12:30pm. An eligible songwriter can join at any time.

Tuition:  Songwriters make an initial 8-week commitment at $379.  When you opt to stay in the class, tuition decreases to $279.
