Description

This class celebrates the golden age of the singer/songwriter. In the 1970s, rock and roll and the folk revival converged into something more intimate: songs built on piano or acoustic guitar, with graceful melodies and lyrics that told real stories. We will revisit the work of Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Jim Croce, Carole King, and Simon & Garfunkel, exploring the clarity, elegance, and storytelling that make these songs endure. We’ll also trace their influence on today’s artists. No musical background needed, just a love of a good song.
