Have you ever shared your music with the wrong person at the wrong time? Can you recall the feeling of deflation that accompanied the experience? How about the surge of positive energy you may get when you share your art with someone who really understands and appreciates it?

The more aware you are of the role of positive, supportive feedback in your creative life, the more you can direct the flow of the process and attract the perfect support system. The exposure can bring you specific musical guidance, general heartfelt encouragement, or honest criticism (or some combination of all three).  Conversely, keeping your music too sheltered may inhibit its growth as much as premature criticism. No matter what the circumstances are, the act of opening up your works-in-progress to a variety of viewpoints (within a context of respect and safety) is essential in allowing your music to grow and mature.

Listen to this SOS episode as the subtleties and nuances involved in artistic incubation and conscious sharing are explored and explained.
