Jimmie Dale Gilmore helping someone play guitar

Build on insights drawn from the Songwriting workshop in this advanced workshop with Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

Watch Texas singer/songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore perform, "The Banks of the Colorado"—a song written for his wife.

In this Advanced Songwriting workshop with Grammy Award nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore, we further explore songwriting as a tool for self-discovery, building on insights and techniques from the Songwriting workshop. The interaction and strong communication experienced in this supportive setting are a productive means of opening new possibilities and inspiration for further individual work.

Each member is invited to present a song to the group with the expectation of honest, considerate feedback. You can choose to participate only in the discussions, but we gently encourage everyone to present a song.

If time permits, we hear some songs without class comment. (Originals only, please.) Those presenting a song for feedback are asked to bring enough printed copies of the lyrics for everyone (usually between 20-25 copies, which can be purchased at Guest Services at about 10 cents a copy.)

Prerequisite: Admission to this workshop is limited to people who have studied previously with Gilmore, with no exceptions.

Things to Bring
