Our Online Pitch service provides NSAI members monthly opportunities to participate in a "pitch session". In these Pitch Sessions, our Guest (usually a Music Publisher in Nashville) will listen to the first verse/first chorus of each member's song on a pass/copy basis. If the Pro "takes a copy," that means that they may want to listen to the song again, and if they "pass," that just means that the song may not be the right fit for that Publisher/Publishing Company. This is a great way to experience how songs are pitched to publishers, learn about what different publishing companies are looking for, and make connections with the decision-makers in the industry.
Each membership comes with (2) Online Pitch credits to use during your membership year, with the opportunity to purchase additional credit as needed.
Our Online Song Feedback service is a great opportunity to have your song heard by a Pro Writer or experienced industry professional. In these monthly sessions, our Pro Guests will listen to the first verse and chorus of each member's song, then provide their overall initial thoughts/first impression of the song, as well as offer any guidance and notes on how to elevate the writing and take it to the next level. These sessions are meant to educate you on how the Pros think, and help strengthen your songwriting skills.
Each membership comes with (1) Online Song Feedback credit to use during your membership year, with the opportunity to purchase additional credits as needed.
Looking for one-on-one face time with an Industry Pro? Our Mentoring Sessions provide members with opportunities to meet (virtually) with their chosen Mentor(s) for 45 minutes. These sessions are member-guided and can be whatever you make it. Want additional feedback on your songs? You can send up to three songs to be passed along to your Mentor, and they will review them and provide Song Feedback. Want some advice and guidance on specific areas in the Industry? Our Mentors all specialize in different fields, so choose the Mentor that fits your current needs, and they will help you focus on your goals and future plans. Just want a good hang? Our Mentors are here for that too! Not only do our Mentors offer invaluable advice and knowledge, they are also here to give you encouragement and support. They love watching you grow as much as we do!

Our Song Evaluation service allows you to submit a song to be reviewed in full by a professional songwriter or industry professional. Once you submit a song - either full song or lyric only - your song will be assigned to one of our trusted Song Evaluators. The evaluators take their time to listen to your song in its entirety, then send you back an individualized "report card," commenting on the many aspects of your song, including: Idea/Hook, Rhyme Scheme, Commercial Viability, etc. This service is a great way to get the undivided attention of a pro (without being part of a larger group), and gain valuable insight and suggestions on how to improve your writing.
Each membership comes with (12) Song Evaluation credits to use during your membership year, with the opportunity to purchase additional credits as needed.
One of the best resources at NSAI is our Membership Representatives! We are here to help guide you through the use of your membership, and can answer any questions you may have about NSAI, songwriting, and the music industry! Members Reps take one-on-one meetings with members in person and online via Zoom, listen to your music and help make recommendations/connections for cowriters, offer advice and support, and so much more. Stay in touch with your Membership team so we can follow along your songwriting journey, and witness your personal and professional growth firsthand!
