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.”

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.

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.
