    RISA Critiques are a comfortable, friendly atmosphere for members to try out new material, with potluck snacks and beverages.


    PREPARATION: It is best to bring songs that you don't consider finished. You can perform your song live (bring your instrument), or bring a pre-recorded CD, or a digital file of your song with your own speaker capabilities. Please also print out 10-12 copies of your lyrics to distribute to attendees. You choose how deeply you would like to receive critical feedback.
