Best Songwriters' Forum?

Question by Mike:

What are the best songwriter forums where I can network, have my songs reviewed, get encouragement, learn and possibly find collaborators / co-writers? Can you help me find a good one?


Answer:

Hello Mike,

There are three forums for songwriters I can highly recommend. You can find great people on all of them. If you participate in one or all of these forums, I'm sure you'll find all the mentoring, support and learning opportunities you want.


• The first one is the TAXI Forum. It's a forum maintained by the independent A&R company TAXI but it's not only for TAXI members. You'll find many budding and successful songwriters there. Among other things, you can discuss business matters, technology & production, get your songs reviewed by peers or find collaborators there.

• Another great forum is called Just Plain Folks Forum. Participants include some very enthusiastic musicians and songwriters. You'll find discussions about songwriting, music, the music industry, mentoring, success stories, networking, feedback, music video feedback, and some threads for other arts and hobbies like acting, cooking, gardening and more.

The Muse's Muse Songwriting Message Board is another great and busy one. You can ask for song or lyric feedback, take part in regular contests, find co-writers, participate in creativity games and have discussions about recording, the music industry and much more.
