Composers' Helpline
Dates
Description Call our Composers' Helpline if you are a composer looking for general advice, compositional support, help with funding or budgets, project ideas, partnerships, confidential wellbeing support. Every Wednesday between 1-2pm Pete Stollery, Fiona Robertson, Lisa Robertson or Emily Doolittle will be available for a chat. They have a wide-range of experience between them (see below for details) and are happy to support you in any way they can. However if it is compositional support you are looking for, you should opt for Pete, Emily or Lisa. Sign up for your 20 min Zoom call by clicking on one of the offered days and selecting your preferred date and time. Make sure that you are able to attend the session as the slots are limited. Please note: The Composer’s Helpline is designed to give as many composers as possible time to discuss individual needs. Although it is of course possible for attendees to come back for additional help or with new topics, if we are over-booked we may have to give preference to new attendees. Please also note that these aren’t teaching sessions, but rather advice sessions. Please select your session carefully and ensure you can attend the chosen slot. Feel free to email info@sound-scotland.co.uk if you have any questions or want to check which member of the Team would be most suited to your inquiry prior to booking. Thank you for your understanding.
