Our 2nd Tuesday critiques are for songs of members only. Visitors are welcome to come and listen to the critiques. We charge $5 for visitors to attend. Members are free, but there is a charge of $10 to our members for a song critique.
-
Songs can be performed live, played from a CD (only one song on the CD) or an MP3 recording, or lyrics only. Songwriters are asked to bring 30 copies of the lyric sheets.
-
Yes, lead sheet, is acceptable, but usually lyrics and a recording or live performance is the norm.
-
No. However, most of our songwriters do present songs by CD.
-
The songs are critiqued immediately following the song being played. Comments are presented out loud by a panel of industry professionals, usually the guest speaker and a DSA director. Those critiquing are encouraged to write there comments on the lyric sheet. You can record the critique if you wish.
There is also a mail – in critique service and online service for members who are unable to attend the meeting. The comments are recorded and emailed to the member. The fee is $20.
