SONGMAKERS: Beyond The ROOTS - Weekly Song Feedback & Exercises for Graduates of THE ROOTS - ONLINE INTERACTIVE, SPRING 2025 STARTS TUES 4/22/25 or SAT 4/26/25

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.  If you are interested in Songmakers and have not taken THE ROOTS, there are Wednesday evening sections most seasons, with online/on-demand and 2-week Roots Intensive in the Summer and at various times in the year.  We welcome you once you have graduated from THE ROOTS!

Looking for a song workshopping setting and have not taken The Roots? Consider The Masters' Workshop or The Country Songwriting Manual.

Reach out with questions for what is best for you and we'll schedule a conversation with a faculty advisor.
