ABOUT THE SONG CRITIQUE WORKSHOPS
A typical Songsalive! Song Critique Workshop is 3 hours (1.5 hours song critique / break / 1 hour of Guest Speaker Talk + Q&A). It's usually VIRTUAL via ZOOM on a Sunday.

Speaker Expectations. 
- First Half: each songwriter (a Member of Songsalive!) joins and presents a song for critique. They are eager for your constructive feedback and perhaps golden nuggets of wisdom that you can impart to the optimistic and excited audience. This constructive feedback could make the difference between mediocre - and - greatness. And it's because of you.
- Second Half:  YOU have the opportunity to 'take the (virtual) stage, by sharing / talking about a topic of your choice, relevant for songwriters and composers. This runs about an hour INCLUDING question time. 

Event Options: 
1. VIRTUAL MONTHLY SONG CRITIQUE WORKSHOP: It's online - on that 3rd Sunday 10am-1pm PST. It's all on Zoom in the comfort of your home. You can share slides, or just speak to the camera and the audience - songwriters who have joined the zoom from around the world.

VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS: When: 3rd Sundays of the month, 10am-1pm PST, all conducted via ZOOM in the comfort of all of our homes. Songwriters join literally from all around the world. USA, Italy, Spain, Russia, Australia, Asia - you name it, we have Members worldwide.  

2. IN PERSON WORKSHOPS: We sometimes do in-person workshops (currently at our Orange County Chapter the Last Saturday evenings of the Month).  Since Covid, we have moved to more the online workshop model (above).
