Five School of Rock Students to Perform Original Songs at Nashville's American Songwriter Headquarters

Five dedicated School of Rock students, chosen from School of Rock locations across the U.S., have earned the opportunity to workshop and record their original songs. The students will then perform for an audience of songwriters and producers in the industry.

The Songwriter Showcase will take place on Sunday, Oct. 8, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at American Songwriter Headquarters in Nashville, Tenn.

"From a large pool of talented students, we chose these five based on their outstanding lyrics, melody, and songcraft. These young musicians represent the future of songwriting," said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. "This is an unparalleled opportunity for School of Rock Songwriters to gain valuable experience by writing and recording an original song. It's a glimpse into the professional world of music, laying the groundwork for their future careers. Their hard work and talent are evident in their compositions, and we are thrilled to showcase them."
