Quote to Inspire. "If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if it's good or bad." -- Miles Davis
June Musings. When something difficult is happening in our personal lives or the world at large, it's almost impossible to go about our day-to-day as if we are untouched by it. During particularly unsettling times, our shared grief, fears, and questions naturally filter into our creative process. To the SongU.com writers: our instructors, mentors, coaches, and pitch guests have noticed that you have been speaking your truth and finding your stories in the sorrows and joys that life brings to us all. We encourage you to continue to arrive at the universal through the specific. Remember that YOUR creative viewpoint is an integral part of the songwriting process. Keep it up!
The June Member Spotlight Playlist! We asked you to submit your very best songs about nature, seasons, weather, or holidays. Congratulations to the Spotlight Songwriters this month! Hear all the songs by CLICKING HERE.
General Registration Reminders. You may have 2 Active FDBK courses at one time, but can add a 3rd if there is still an open spot 24 hours before a course starts. Check your live Course schedule in case someone cancels during the week and a seat opens up. TO ALL, please delete your course from your Active courses page if you are not going to attend and have no song in your backpack. Thank you. International members, if there are any FDBK sessions you can not be present at due to a time-zone challenge, you can register to attend the session anyway. Just be sure to add your work-tape and/or lyric to your backpack and a note to the instructor for feedback on the recorded transcript. Also, be sure to look for our GMT-friendly meetings (between 1-3pm EST) during the week and on Saturdays for meetings that may fit your "live" schedule. As always, remember to "Submit Your Good News" in your Account area.
