    At the heart of Songsalive! Australia are the activities which benefit members, help to finish the song, or even find the stepping-off point for the song, have fellow members critique your work, in the supportive atmosphere of a Songsalive! Australia workshop. We hold them monthly and they area popular way for members to meet.

    Bring along a recording of a song you’re working on. Bring along a few copies of the lyrics, and get some feedback on aspects of your song which only objective ears can provide. Many members attend workshops to gain an insight into the songwriting process via the critiques provided by fellow members.
