Family Program–Songteller: Songwriting 101
Dolly Parton is a prolific singer-songwriter. Her hit song “I Will Always Love You” is an iconic declaration of wishing someone the best. If you could write an inspirational song to uplift others, what would you say? Join singer-songwriter and music educator Kayley Nell Walker—who has performed original music on NBC’s Today, at the Bluebird Café, and at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge’s annual Birthday Bash—in this introductory workshop inspired by Parton’s career. Participants will learn the fundamentals of songwriting—including form, theme, and rhyme scheme—then share ideas and write an original song as a group. Presented in support of the exhibition Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker. All ages. Taylor Swift Education Center. Included with Museum admission. Free to Museum members.
