Course Title
FDBK 100 Song Feedback and Mentoring

Instructors
Randy Klein

Course Description
This feedback and mentoring session is geared toward ALL songwriters regardless of their level or genre. It's also a great class to start with if you have never received feedback before. Randy likes to hear commercial as well as non-commercial songs too (aka, "non-love" songs). He's also an experienced pro in musical theatre, cabaret and jazz. So don't be shy. Feel free to bring whatever songs you're working on in any style to this session for feedback. You can bring one song (or lyric) in your backpack for instructor feedback or one question in your backpack for your instructor's insights and opinion. This session is limited to 5 participants only to allow for personalized attention, feedback and class discussion.

IMPORTANT PRE-SESSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Songs or questions should be first created as a file in your Locker prefixed with the session title (e.g, FDBK 115 - I Love The Way You Love, or FDBK 115 - Question)
For all song lyrics, please capitalize your title and identify each section of the song (e.g., Verse 1, Chorus, etc.) Mark your copyright and name at the top or bottom of the lyric.
Place this file (your song or question) in your Backpack at least 24 hours prior to class. As long as it is in your Backpack, the instructor will have access to it during class.
Please make every effort to attend since this is designed to be an interactive session. However, if you are unable to attend due to time conflicts or illness, you must include a note in your Locker file for the instructor. Instructors make an effort to evaluate all songs and answer all questions as time permits (preference given to those in attendance).
