Pitch sessions	publishers, artists, or Artists and Repertoire (A&R) reps listen to your songs for possible inclusion in their projects. Cost is $10/tape, maximum of 2 tapes per session.
Education	Songwriting improvement with pitch sessions and in-house critique sessions provide invaluable feedback on improving your songwriting.
