Composition Review Service

Service Description

If you've written a piece of music for a competition, course, festival or even just for your own pleasure and would like Tim to cast his expert eye over it for review purposes to offer constructive feedback and advice, then this service is for you. For a flat fee of £30.00 per submission, you can submit a single piece or group of pieces totalling no more than five minutes of music (excluding repeats). In return, you will receive a marked-up copy of your score(s), with detailed analysis and general comments on all aspects of your music: word-setting, melody, harmony, accompaniment, structure, liturgical usage, presentation. Feedback will be affirming and constructively critical. Fees for larger submissions can be quoted on request - please enquire by email to mail@timknightmusic.com. It is a simple and straightforward process to submit your composition. Once we have confirmed receipt of your payment, you can send your composition with your attached files (in PDF with midi file or Finale or XML format) to us by email (mail@timknightmusic.com) with anything else you want to tell us. The reviewer’s comments will be sent by e-mail, usually within 30 days of receipt of both your fee and application form. Once you have received your submission report back you can repeat the steps above and continue to submit further submissions. These services are open to any amateur composers and arrangers designed to develop and improve your approach, technique and style under the guidance of Award-Winning Yorkshire Composer, Tim Knight. Tim is always keen to pass on his knowledge and experience and these are bespoke services designed to inspire and motivate any aspiring composers of the future. You can submit your work from wherever you are in the world. If you have any queries about this Service, please get in touch at mail@timknightmusic.com
