I don't like directly asking for help, but my indirect requests have met with little response so far. I really need feedback on my efforts at being a professional musician, both online and in the flesh:
If you have been to
my website, what do you think of it? Is it easy to navigate? Is there some functionality or content that you feel the site lacks? Are there things that you want to see more of? At what point did you get bored and decide to go read Penny Arcade intead?
If you were at either of my recitals in the past couple of months, what did you think of them? What worked, and what didn't? Feel free to address whatever parts of the recital caught your attention -- individual pieces, my stage manner, whatever. Provide as much or as little explanation as you like, and don't worry about being too technical or too non-technical. You don't have to give positive feedback, as long as I can glean some useful information: "I didn't enjoy your recital at all, but these bits sucked the least" is enough for me to work with. I've already been informed that my tie clashed with my shirt; all I can say to that is that they didn't clash when I picked them out, so it was probably the lighting.
If you have any thoughts or opinions on the above matters, I would really appreciate it if you shared them with me. I'm trying to figure out where to go from here, and part of that is figuring out where "here" is, in the minds of my potential audience. Don't worry about being too harsh; I'm not here to get my ego stroked. I'm just here to make music.
