Feedback guidelines.
When providing song feedback during meetings:
When Receiving Song Feedback
- Be respectful, but also be honest. Consider the songwriter's experience level and provide feedback based on where they are in their songwriting journey.
- Provide feedback based on what the songwriter needs. If it isn’t clear, ask them- what are you looking for?
- All suggestions given during ASA feedback sessions are considered supportive gifts to the songwriter as a part of the mission of our organization. The group feedback session is not intended to be a co-writing session.
- Learn by actively listening to feedback even if you don't have feedback yourself.
When Receiving Song Feedback
- To keep group feedback focused, state what you are looking for upfront. For instance, you may want help on lyrics, but you are happy with the melody, etc.
- It's a two way street when receiving feedback, requiring respect both ways to be effective. Keep an open mind and graciously accept the feedback offered by others.
