Community Open Mics - Access & Eligibility for Performers & Audience
Audience
Audience seats are available to all Community members. Access is via a hyperlink to the Zoom meeting. There is no limit on audience numbers, as long as they stay within the maximum currently allowed with our Zoom licence.
Performers
Several weeks before each Open Mic a Call For Interest inviting people to either be in the audience or to be considered for a Performer slot. Performer slots are available according to some simple criteria.
NOTE - what the Open Mics are / are not
The Open Mics are open to all JustinGuitar students. They are designed to provide people with a means of sharing their playing in a live setting, with the audience made up of Community peers and friends. They are not open to all comers, to people with no prior connection to JustinGuitar and the Community. The Open Mic steering group and Community moderators do reserve the right to deny requests to perform using the simple criteria below as a base guideline.
- We ask that performers are JustinGuitar students.
- We ask that performers are active members who embody the positive and supportive pay-it-forward ethos we have long nurtured in the Community.
- We ask that performers have made an Introductory topic including some information about their learning path with JustinGuitar.
- We ask that performers have shared regular and / or recent audio-video of their playing in the Community Recordings section, recorded since becoming a Community member.
- We ask that performers have previously attended Open Mics as an audience member.
