September 2023 Meeting
The September 2023 meeting! The theme to include in new songs this month was to mention any sense (like smell or sound).
August 2023 Meeting
We made it in person! After nearly 3.5 years of Zoom-only meetings, this was our first attempt to gather at a member’s home; the previous in-person meeting was way back in February 2020. The host thought maybe only 3 people would show up (summers have traditionally low attendance, and several regular members have moved away from the Greater Toronto Area). But! We ended up being a robust group of 10. The evening went late and everyone seemed to enjoy it in its entirety. In September, we will return to Zoom, and then try another in-person meeting in October. Contact us if you wish to join either; all are welcome.
July 2023 Meeting
The theme for songs this month was minimalism. Next month August will be the first in-person meeting in over 3 years! Message us for more info if you wish to attend in Toronto 2nd Friday of August.
June 2023 Meeting
Some surprisingly pretty songs came out of this month’s optional exercise, which was simply, “Include a riff in your song.”
May 2023 Meeting
As usual, we shared our songs live and gave one-another positive and constructive feedback.
