How about some small, simple challenges? Write a waltz in 8 bars. Submissions due by July 1st 2012. It's not a contest, just submit to this group and those who wish to comment, do so. I'll go in if two other members will (reply to this post saying so).

With Simon's return I hope he picks up with the music challenge group again! Please nudge him to get it going again, it was showing such momentum!

I only meant to point out that the group description still reads that "each week" we will have a challenge. It's not terribly important, but still caught my attention.
