COMPASS MID-MISSOURI SONGWRITING CIRCLE (ages 21 and over)
To attend and participate in the Mid-MO Songwriting Circle meetings, songwriters must RSVP to Vicki Leighty at: vleighty07@yahoo.com to reserve your seat. Limiting size of the meetings assures we can maintain our successful format of providing educational discussion and ample time for song sharing/peer critique. Although the Circle meetings occur monthly, songwriters can reserve space at 6 out of 12 dates per year to attend, so that new people can be woven into the songwriting meetings.
Space is limited to 12 songwriters per meeting. Songwriters contribute $5 -10 sliding scale per meeting to participate in the Circle, which covers refreshments/expenses. Circle meetings are held the 2nd Saturday of every month at Piano Distributors Recital Room (1729 W. Broadway) in the Broadway Shopping Center. No drop-ins without RSVP. When full, that information will be posted here next to meeting dates.
