Presenting Ideas

Presenting Ideas

Formulating Music Concepts

  • Gain ability to brainstorm innovative, creative ideas for music performances, compositions or publicity events.
  • Understand the importance of analytical thinking in refining these initial ideas, assessing them for reach, authenticity, financial feasibility and overall impact.
  • Appreciate the essence of music market research to validate ideas, through studying similar past events, understanding audience demographics and preferences, and keeping up-to-date with current music industry trends.

Communication of Ideas

  • Develop interpersonal skills for effective communication of artistic visions that involve clearly illustrating goals, styles, venue, themes and public engagement techniques.
  • Learn to employ presentational tools, like pitch decks, mood boards, prototypes or even musical demonstrations to help the team visualise your ideas better.
  • Develop both verbal and non-verbal presentation skills, considering things like body language, eye contact, speech clarity, and listener engagement.

Developing Connection

  • Understand the significance of building rapport with listeners, by empathising with their perspective and engaging them in the conversation.
  • Grasp the importance of articulating the value and relevance of your ideas, explaining how they can benefit the audience, whether it’s a unique musical experience, an entertaining performance, or a groundbreaking concert environment.

Receiving and Responding to Feedback

  • Realise the valuable role of constructive feedback in further refining the idea, offering opportunities to remove inconsistencies, identify overlooked details, or add in fresh elements.
  • Develop a receptiveness to criticisms and suggestions, taking them positively, while also standing firm on core concepts that shape your original artistic vision.
  • Inculcate the practice of following-up post presentation with a feedback review session, to get an understanding of the reception and repercussions of your music ideas.

Iterating on Ideas

  • Understand the inevitable nature of idea refinement, viewing each presentation as a learning opportunity to iterate and improve upon the existing concept.
  • Learn the technique of prototyping your ideas, putting them into a small scale practice to gauge efficiency and make suitable alterations before the final execution.
  • Value the importance of evolving with the dynamics of the music industry, keeping idea formulations flexible and adaptable to ever-changing trends and demands.
