KSHH Feedback = Kind, Specific, Helpful, Honest. KSHH feedback is the lifeblood of this experience - producers and players, please use it often!
Kind: Unkind feedback blocks creativity and collaboration - always prioritize the K.
Specific: In commenting on players’ work - try more specificity, less value/judgement, (eg. “I notice your chords are more on the beats this time” vs “You’re doing better playing in time”).
Helpful: Occasionally, helpful means offering constructive criticism, but much more often, it means being empathetic, and supporting the player.
Honest: Not an excuse to tell a player what you think they should do, more an opportunity to be open and share your own similar struggles!
