Performance Feedback Loop
Submit a recording and receive detailed written feedback within 48 hours.
This call-free coaching format allows musicians to receive clear, organized feedback they can revisit while practicing.
What You'll Receive
Detailed written feedback addressing musical precision, phrasing, interpretation, and practical strategies for refining your performance.
Feedback is structured clearly so you can revisit it while practicing, working through individual points as many times as you like.
Feedback may include observations about phrasing, pitch precision, diction, musical contour, and performance communication amongst other things.
Many musicians find that written feedback allows them to revisit the same detail of a coaching session repeatedly while practicing.
How it works
1. Submit a recording of a piece or excerpt.
2. Include the repertoire information and any questions you may have.
3. Within 48 hours you will receive detailed written feedback with observations, suggestions, and practice strategies.
Who This Is For
• Musicians preparing auditions
• Performers refining repertoire
• Students preparing recordings or competitions
• Musicians who want detailed feedback they can revisit while practicing
• Musicians who prefer written feedback instead of live coaching
About Your Feedback
Feedback is provided by Sonya Knussen, founder of Pitch Craft Collective.
With three decades of experience working across performance, education, recording projects, and artistic direction, her approach focuses on musical clarity, attention to detail, and understanding the intentions behind the music.
The goal is not simply to critique a performance, but to help musicians understand how and why the music works — and to #CareAboutTheNotes.
Recording Guidelines
Phone or tablet recordings are completely acceptable as long as the audio is clear.
You may submit:
• one complete piece
