    • Songwriter Tip:

    The second kind of critiquer (grain of salt critiquers) judges music by using their own style as their frame of reference. These critiquers do not make your music better, just different. Usually, this will just change the appeal of the different types of listeners instead of enhancing the experience to the listeners who would have liked your music originally. They may give you ideas to help your vision, but they are also tearing down walls that you have identified as your style. You can learn from these people, but you just have to be careful. Consider, possibly change and move on.
