CWU/Ellensburg Songwriters Association

Campus + community for local music!

About Me

Uniting the campus and community in support of local music! The CWU/Ellensburg Songwriters Association, a club based at Central Washington University, welcomes all musicians who wish to share their art and/or improve their skills as performers. Songwriters of all experience levels are encouraged to join. At our regular meetings, we meet other musicians, share our original music with one another, get help/feedback, plan events, share music-making resources, and work on songwriting exercises.

A few happenings for 07-08: listening parties; constructive criticism meets; guest artist performances and Q&A; song in the round sharing; performance opportunities (on campus, local, and/or radio); field trips; group exercises (the musical kind); and workshops about the music business, songwriting strategies, sound tech, etc... The possibilities are VAST. What do YOU want to do?
