Sneak Peek & Critique events enable ringers to sight-read works by independent publishers and then provide feedback to the composer / arranger. These can be standalone events or be part of other events, such as Read & Rings. They can help composers and arrangers finalize and market their works and you get a sneak peek into what will soon be available for purchase. Learn how to host your own SPC event!
