Many graduates of our Summer Young Artist Intensives over the years have gone on to careers in the music business. All can turn to songwriting as a vital means of creative self-expression. One graduate of our program who attended classes with us from age 12 to 17 opened for Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium in London last summer. Whether someone dreams of big stages or not, our community is one where dreamers are respected, supported, fortified, and encouraged. The curriculum is designed to inspire, instruct, and empower young people of all backgrounds and experience levels to do work they can enjoy and believe in.
In this positive, respectful, challenging class, build a strong foundation for a lifetime in your art and craft and the confidence and skills to create songs that matter.

THAT ALL SOUNDS COOL, BUT WHY CALL IT "THE ROOTS"?
Is it because they're the greatest living band? Perhaps. And(!)...in songs, the notes your chords are built upon are called The Roots. Words have roots. The root carries meaning, and we attach prefix and suffix to give that meaning context. Pop culture may have taught you to think of "your roots" as your ancestry, your background, your unique personal history. You may make decisions in your life because of or, at times, in reaction to those roots. And from time to time you may feel the need to "pull up your roots" and enact change in your life. One look at the tree outside your window will remind you that to blossom, the roots must be planted and tended in fertile ground.
We believe that you can grow into the songwriter you hope to become if you first put down strong, healthy roots, deep in the creative soil of your experience. This class is dedicated to that powerful process. When you connect the meaning of words and the emotion of music with your growing understanding of who you are, as person and as songwriter, your style and your voice emerge.
This class is especially for you if you...
When you complete this course of study you will not only have finished songs, you will have begun to formulate a personal, creative, and (if appropriate for you) professional plan of action for a fruitful life writing compelling songs.
