Singing may be the first language, even before people created words and gave them meaning. Every child under three makes up songs as naturally as they breathe. Song is likely our earliest and most fundamental art form. Even now, writing songs is the birthright and inspired gift of every human.

The 49th Annual Wheatland Music Festival will offer a songwriting track led by Jan Krist.
The program will include pre-festival group sessions and song assignments, as well as one-on-one coaching sessions, online via Zoom during the week leading up to the Festival.
