jawoodruff Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 After talking with several people and discussing my situation with Student Accounts, I have set up a WePay Donations page to help raise money to help pay the remaining balance. I'm not comfortable asking for assistance from people -particularly monetary assistance. I was brought up to work hard and earn what I want in life. This is something, I feel, I have exhibited up to this point. So, I'm just going to try this and see if it works. https://www.wepay.com/x15v98k/donate/100281 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
composerorganist Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Jason - just a suggestiom but a link to your works at soundcloud or soundclick would be great. Check Kickstarter fundraising site for successful fundraising campaigns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Chris, I checked the Kickstarter site, it looks like that one is strictly for project related funding. While there is a deadline for my campaign, it is prohibited on the kickstarter site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
composerorganist Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yes I knew that about Kickstarter but they offer great ideas to help promote your cause - offering links to your compositions, blogging about your triumphs and travails as an adult student trying to get his Bachelor's in the arts. I think you could apply some of that to your fundraising effort. Also the photo is good but it would be nice to show another of you composing or working with a musician on a work. If you have past or peresnt projects to blog about - eg like your experience having your flute piece performed by eighth blackbird or your work wioth the cellist - would be great. Record the readings - even if they are rough I think funders would be excited to hear about the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ok, Chris. I posted a few links to some of my work. I'll also post a link to the reading of my brass quintet. These are GOOD ideas. Any more you can think of? It seems like you've been down this road before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
