Why Attend A Workshop Meeting and Why Get Feedback?
Feedback on your music can be valuable before you spend money on an expensive, polished recording.
Or, before you meet with a publisher or production music library to pitch your music.
Or, before you hand over your lyrics or tracks to your collaborator.
Or, before you put your songs "out there" on social media.
Or, before you attend an important music conference.
Or, before you send that mp3 to a Music Supervisor.
Or, before you perform your new song live.
Feedback is also helpful when you're trying to get your song or composition to the next level.
Remember that opinions expressed at the Workshop Meetings and by the NSAI Pro Evaluators are just that: Opinions.
But, feedback can be useful when "fresh ears" hear your song for the first time.
Even full-time, professional composers and successful hit songwriters often seek feedback from
trusted sources before their music is ready to be presented to the world.
