Educational Workshops
by Tuck Wilson
Songwriter / Entertainer
Performance-based workshops bring history and literature to life for your students. Tuck uses historically
significant folk songs, explaining the background and significance of each.
Each workshop may be followed by a student-participation session in which Tuck uses the songs from the
workshop to demonstrate the craft of songwriting, providing a truly memorable educational experience.
Current Workshops:
The songwriting workshop is an excellent program for
students of all ages working on writing skills, especially
poetry. Adding a melody improves students' ability to hear
the meter and enhances their rhyming creativity. For
younger students, Tuck can act as facilitator while the class
writes a song as a group project. Older students and above
may write or bring a song of their own, and Tuck will select
several folk or popular songs to use in a discussion of
approaches to songwriting, while using his editing skills to
demonstrate first-hand the craft of songwriting.
Call or e-mail to schedule a workshop.
Tuck has been performing in coffeehouses, on college
campuses, and at concert halls and music clubs since he
was in high school.
