Song Critique Circle for SONGWRITERS in the Treasure Valley

If you are songwriter seeking commercial success, you are invited to bring one of your songs to our weekly Song Critique Circle. It is held every Tuesday from 7-9pm at a comfortable location in Caldwell and is a fantastic way to strengthen your songwriting skills and your friendships with other songwriters! Limited to 8 people. Registration required!

HOW TO PREPARE AND WHAT TO BRING:

Please bring 8 printed lyrics sheets and ONE* song as either a standard (16bit) WAV file or MP3 file on a standard USB memory stick (USB thumb drive). Alternatively, you can bring your own battery powered audio player as long as it has a standard 1/8" or 1/4" headphone output so that we can connect it to our audio system. Also, we do have a CD player and cassette player if you prefer old school media. PLEASE DO *NOT* BRING ANY INSTRUMENTS!

*If you referenced another song while writing your song and you would like us to be able to compare your song to your reference song, please bring that song too.

CIRCLE AGENDA:

This event will begin with an extremely brief explanation of how the event will flow. Then 120 minutes will be divided by the number of songwriters present and that number of minutes will be the amount of time that each songwriter has to present their song and receive feedback from myself and other songwriters. Since there will never be more than 8 people (and very often less) in a circle, the minimum amount of time per songwriter will be 15 minutes. This is plenty of time to critique your song and you will also learn from others' songs. Any remaining time will be used for general Q&A and socializing!

SPECIAL NOTES:

This event is designed for Songwriters who are serious about their craft and are wanting extremely candid and genuinely valuable feedback and suggestions. If you don't want to receive (and offer) truth; this is not the event for you. That said, you do NOT have to bring a song to participate!
