Seed to Stage™ live workshop · Last updated November 3, 2026

The short version. You pay $97 once for a live three-hour workshop on Zoom and lifetime access to its recording. If it's not right for you, ask for a refund within seven days [of buying, or after the workshop: Saad to confirm] and you'll get your money back, no questions asked. We never see your full card number, and we never sell your information.

Who we are

Seed to Stage™ is run by The Composer's Brain, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("we," "us"), at 202 Mountain Ave, Westfield, NJ 07090. Questions go to saad@composersbrain.com.

You must be at least 18 to buy a seat.

What you're buying

The Zoom link and details are emailed to the address you enter at checkout. Your seat is for you alone; please don't share the link or the recording.

Price and payment

The price is $97 USD, paid once, at checkout. Payments are processed by Square. Your card details go straight to Square; we never see or store your full card number. Your bank may charge a fee if your card is in another currency.

Refunds

If the workshop isn't right for you, email saad@composersbrain.com within seven days [of buying, or after the workshop: Saad to confirm] and we'll refund the full $97 to your card. No questions asked. Refunds usually reach your card within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank.

If we move or cancel the workshop. [Saad to confirm: e.g. if we move the date, you can keep your seat for the new date or get a full refund; if we cancel, you get a full refund.]

The live session and the recording

The workshop is recorded, and the recording is shared with everyone who bought a seat. Zoom shows a notice on screen while it records.

If you send an email for critique, it may be shown on screen during the workshop, so other attendees and anyone watching the recording will see it. Remove anything you don't want shown, such as the musician's name or contact details, before you send it.

The workshop and its materials are for your own use. Please don't copy, share, sell or republish them, and please don't record the session yourself.

No guaranteed results

The results on the sales page come from composers who studied with Saad in his mentorship, not from a three-hour workshop, and they aren't guaranteed. We can't promise any particular outcome, such as a performance, commission, or reply. Your results depend on your own work, your music, and many things outside our control.

Your privacy

What we collect at checkout: your name and email address. Your card details go to Square, not to us.

What we do with it: we add you to our contact list (Kourse OS) so we can send your receipt, the Zoom details, reminders and the recording. We may also email you about our other programs; every email has an unsubscribe link.

This page: like the rest of composersbrain.com, it runs our own analytics tool. It records which parts of the page you look at, how long, what you click and how far you scroll, plus the link that brought you here and your approximate location. It stores a random visitor ID in your browser. When you buy, we can connect your visit to your name and email. It never reads your card details. Cloudflare Turnstile may check that checkout is being used by a person and not a bot.

Who helps us: Square (payments), Kourse OS (contacts and email), Cloudflare (hosting, analytics and bot protection) and Zoom (the workshop). They handle your information only to provide their services to us. We never sell your information.

Your choices: email saad@composersbrain.com to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you. We'll answer within 30 days. We keep payment records as long as the law requires.

The legal part

The workshop is provided as is. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim about the workshop is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.

These terms are governed by the laws of New Jersey. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts in Union County, New Jersey, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. Before any formal claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it together.

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. Changes won't affect a purchase you've already made.
