the problem
We’re songwriters.
We chase melody and harmony to move our audience.
But the road is hard.
We get distracted.
We beat ourselves up.
And often…
we don’t finish our songs.

how it works
The Rule
There are only two types of feedback: Positive and Constructive. (Negative feedback is called being a douche).
The Process
Participants share a vulnerable, unfinished piece.
Mentors deliver both Positive and Constructive expert feedback.
Participants get to hang out and chat about each others work, find collaborators, and share feedback.
The result
You learn how to drown out your own inner critic through true community and celebration.
the logistics
Bring
One song in progress or newly finished,
A notebook (this is a learning environment),
Your acoustic instrument.
