For the 24th consecutive year, the Texas Folk Music Foundation hosts its annual Songwriting School at the Quiet Valley Ranch during the 32nd Annual Kerrville Folk Festival.

Directed by Nashville’s Rick Beresford, the school lasts three days and is designed to bring out each student’s unique songwriting style. There are many valid approaches to songwriting and such differences are encouraged. All types of songwriting are addressed: folk, rock, blues, and country. Students receive both large and small group instruction using hands-on-teaching methods. Individual song critiques and group songwriting are included

Day 1 focuses on creative possibilities: deriving and developing song ideas and form expansion.
Day 2 addresses music exploration: discovering techniques for creating and improving melodies.
Day 3 emphasizes form, structure and rewriting.

Both beginning and advanced songwriters can benefit from this experience through shared examples

By pre-paid reservation only @ $165 per student (prior to May 10). $200 after May 10. Includes lunch, camping, and admission to Sundown Concerts for class days. Limited enrollment. Send registration checks to:
