Stylistic Canon Audit Service

A human-powered critique service where trained music theory specialists (conservatory graduates, adjunct composers) review student compositions within 24-48 hours against a detailed rubric for Renaissance canon, fugue, or other classical forms. Students submit work via a simple web portal; a routed specialist returns annotated scores with specific corrections (voice-leading errors, harmonic violations, structural deviations) and a pass/flag decision before deadline.

Original Problem

Music composition students struggle to get reliable feedback on stylistic correctness before submitting work

Music students and composers spend hours on Renaissance canon studies and other classical compositions but lack access to expert feedback on whether their work follows proper stylistic conventions. They post to forums hoping for critique but get inconsistent, delayed, or incomplete responses. Current solutions (forums, music teachers with limited availability, generic music theory books) fail to provide immediate, authoritative stylistic validation before submission deadlines.
