30 Wednesday, March 8, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon SONG ACADEMY: Sisters Folk Festival produces the annual school Continued from page 1 Greeninger and his daugh- ter and her friends from Santa Cruz, California, have attended camp for the past three years, and they plan on continuing. Greeninger said he is excited to see that the program now has instructors that are closer in age to the students, so the students can really relate to teachers who aren’t that much older than them and who are out in the music world doing what they love. “This community is treating these students with respect and offering them tools to be themselves and be creative,” he said. “My general philosophy in life has been that if people are treated well and given encouragement, that they rise to be wonderful people. When I see that playing out in Sisters, it’s a reaffirmation for me that people really are good, and these students can create in that safe space.” Students connect one- on-one with the instructors Out West Realty — Serving all of Central Oregon — Principal Broker ABR, CDPE,CIAS, GRI, SRES 541-480-0183 www.sandygoodsell.com Licensed Broker in the State of Oregon in classes, song circles, and mentor sessions where stu- dents sign up for time with an instructor and receive help with anything related to their songs and craft. In Hayley Heynderickx’s writer’s block class, students learned about how to climb up “Mt. W” — the who, what, when, where, why of a song. Lyric writing really gets under my skin, I know I love it because I hate it so much, and it’s so complex. — Liam Brown PHOTO BY CEILI CORNELIUS Anna Tivel and Shae Gascon perform during the Americana Song Academy for Youth Celebration of Song. SHS student Liam Brown said, “Lyric writing really gets under my skin, I know I love it because I hate it so much, and it’s so complex.” Heynderickx’s main point is that “songwriting can come in seasons”; she said that you don’t always have to be writ- ing to be a songwriter. Throughout the weekend, students are able to ask ques- tions and learn from every- one around them — including each other. Students found others to collaborate with on their songs — whether it was with Brent Alan’s house band, or simply another stu- dent playing lead guitar. The weekend’s work was then presented to the community at the Celebration of Song on Sunday night at The Belfry, where students and instructors performed what they had been work- ing on through the intensive weekend.
