Todas las críticas son buenas. Todas enseñan. Lo importante no es pelear. Lo importante es aprender. Si uno no está dispuesto a recibir comentarios no debe exponer su arte. Imagina que Schroemberg y otros grandes se hubiesen escondido porque su música no sonaba convencional. ENTONCES NO TENDRIAMOS A JOHN CAGE.

Break down the notes into smaller pieces and reflect on them one at a time. That can soften the blow if you felt the criticism was too harsh. From there, you can challenge yourself to elevate your work. The best art comes from within. Reframe the criticism as questions to ask yourself during your process.

Criticism is a hidden gem for growth—especially in songwriting. First, take a step back and listen with an open mind. Ask for specifics so you can understand what they see, but also remember that music is subjective. Use the feedback to reflect on areas where you can experiment or refine your style. Try stepping out of your comfort zone by incorporating new techniques or perspectives, even if they’re outside your usual approach. But most importantly, stay true to your artistic voice. Improvement doesn’t mean losing yourself—it’s about evolving while staying authentic.
