How Do You Value Criticism For Your Compositions?

Recommended Posts

Well, criticism of a certain thing will actually tend increase the thing criticized. If the person improves, it will be in spite of the criticism, not because of it. (And I'm guilty of criticizing other people's music in front of them, though I'm trying to change that).

I think the powerful, effective thing to do is to offer suggestions....don't just say "This sounds out of place/ weird/ uninspired". If you have a vision for how someone's piece should be, then offer the suggestion of the change you think is good. That is what I value when getting feedback, and what I find helpful.

I love how good things like ability and comfortable living conditions are gifts but other things like being conjoined with an undeveloped, parasitic twin or being born without a face aren't punishments.

Wouldn't that depend on which religion you're a part of?

I feel like criticism is an important part of developing. Even if it's blatantly insulting, there has to be a reason that it was given that way.

However, yeah, there's pretty stupid stuff like "lol you need more technique" without ANY explanation to how you could get that. =p Sarcasm is also a terrible device in trying to get someone to see your point of view in a straightforward manner.
