The Universe of Song is an inclusive community of creative music lovers supporting each other in a quest for deeper understanding of Song. Check into The Universe and prepare to know music more deeply than ever before!

All experience levels are relevant and welcome! This four-day event focusing on the craft of songwriting will change your life. Learn with excellent teachers who have much to share. You'll understand songs in a whole new way, and you'll powerfully communicate emotion and story when you write. In addition to learning, enjoy networking with amazing people, attending exciting world-class concerts, and even the option of performing yourself.

The Universe of Song faculty is selected for their experience and ability to teach in an inclusive, welcoming, and highly effective manner. Classes at the Universe of Song are fun, friendly, and fascinating! Check into The Universe, and you will learn like never before in a welcoming, experiential, and harmonious atmosphere. If you've never written a song before, you'll be amazed at how well you do. If you already are a songwriter, the fresh perspectives will offer you valuable new insights. You'll be thrilled and amazed with the songs you write, and ultimately, the way you grow.

UOS Update

Thanks to everyone who made the Universe of Song 2009 such a great success. Your participation was truly appreciated! We left the program feeling grateful and inspired by your wonderful creativity and exceptional talents.

We have decided to take a sabbatical from the UOS in 2010 for musical growth reasons. The band is launching and we need time to focus on this as well as re-tooling UOS for future greatness. The feeling is bittersweet, because we will greatly miss teaching classes this year. By the same token, we know that a sabbatical this year will help to ensure that next year’s event is even better than past UOS events! We look forward to Universe of Song 2011 and invite you to mark your calendars now for July 29th-August 3rd, 2011.

For this year, please consider enjoying the other great events at Arts in the Mountains, including The Summer Rhythm Renewal and The Guitar and Bass Retreat.

We hope all is well with you and with your songwriting. We look forward to seeing you at UOS 2011 for the best event ever.

Thanks Again!

UOS Faculty
