  1. Quote to Inspire - "When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest." ― Henry David Thoreau.
  1. Stay Safe. Be Creative. - IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CHANGES FOR APRIL:
    1) Additional Live FDBK courses. As requested, we have added some additional live FDBK course sections this month. Please check the Live Course catalog for dates/times.
    2) Additional Seats in FDBK courses. Several instructors have agreed to open up ONE ADDITIONAL seat in their FDBK classes to accommodate the extra demand.
    3) Limit of Active FDBK courses. Beginning this week, members will be limited to having no more than three FDBK courses in their Active Course list at one time. This will allow for more opportunities for a variety of members to take courses throughout the week.
    4) TRANSCRIPT RETRIEVAL SLOWDOWN. Systems in the time of Corona are operating at 830% of normal capacity. You may have to wait as much as 48 hours for a course transcript to appear. If you do not see it after that time, please send a support form and we can check the status.

  1. Thanks! Your Kind Words are Music to Our Ears! - Roger Brantley (LA) on 3/13: "Hello, This is a VERY competitive business as you know but it is encouraging to know that a song I wrote "Southern Life" is a " Maybe" to get pitched for a major artist! Thank you SongU Team!! I know you are busy but wanted to let you know that I have several people pitching my Songs and YOU are by far the most Professional, Kind, efficient group that ALWAYS responds and clearly has a CRAZY work ethic! You know as well as I do that that is what inevitably leads to success! I LOVE IT!"

    Jane H. (U.K.) on 3/23 - "I’m enjoying getting ideas, feedback and inspiration as with the virus escalating now my co writers and I can’t meet to work on our new stuff so online is definitely a way forward and I’ve had some good food for thought from the coaching reviews and the two on line classes I’ve attended on the songs particularly the ones that need some work. I’ll look forward to another class soon. Kindest regards and stay safe."

    Shawn F. (NJ) on 3/25 - To Bob Dellaposta, FDBK 315 Publisher Song Feedback: "Bob always brings his 'A' game. He has a very honest and passionate approach to helping.

    Brad Y. (NY) on 3/26 - To Marcia Ramirez, FDBK 140 Song Feedback: "Marcia has been one of my "go-tos" for a long time now. Really appreciate her take. I count her as a friend besides.
