Set up a meeting to discuss your project in detail, allowing you to gauge their enthusiasm and understanding. Ask for references or testimonials from past clients to evaluate their professionalism and reliability. Pay attention to their communication skills, as a composer who listens and responds well to feedback is more likely to create music that meets your expectations.
