STAAR Hosts Songwriter Workshop Series

STAAR Theatre has partnered with Daniel Kim Ethridge, a Nashville-based songwriter and a member of the touring trio Troubadour Blue to create a series of songwriter workshops for all ages. At STAAR Theatre, Ethridge will conduct these monthly workshops alongside several of his fellow Nashville songwriters to share what it takes to create a great song. Students will go through the process of collaboration with the intention of telling the stories that are lived everyday through music.

The first session was held Saturday, June 24, with sessions for kindergarten-fifth grade from 10-11:30 a.m., sixth-12th grade from 10 a.m.-noon and adults from 12:30-3 p.m.

Future dates will be announced monthly.

“We are delighted to work with Nashville talent to bring something very special and unique to our community for all ages,” Executive Director Tammy Pierchoski said. “Daniel’s love for music and sharing these gifts to further music education, comes from a childhood that was steeped in caring arts/music educators… knowing that creating a space for learning and expressing yourself is something you will carry throughout life. We hope our community will take advantage of this offering and the sessions to follow monthly.”

The cost for the sessions are $20 per person, and family discounts are available. Since the instructors are donating their time, all proceeds will be used to cover travel expenses.

STAAR Theatre at Antoinette Hall is located at 105 N. First St. in Pulaski. For more information on the songwriting workshop series or to purchase tickets for upcoming performances, visit the website or call 931-478-0211.
