Individual Practice
Get your gear ready. This may mean your guitar, a tuner, a music stand (if you plan to read), your stick bag, an audio player, etc. Never expect the practice studio or others to carry gear for you. This will instill a discipline which would come in handy.
Consider this scenario. You hate playing for your band. You hate their attitudes and the music don’t sound right either. And you can’t tell them this because you want to be polite. Eventually you give up and want to quit your band. How would you do it? Any recommendations?
In Part 1, we discussed that individual practice comes first before band practice. This post is about planning for practice.
It is about time that bands and composers took their first initiatives combined.
Does practicing have a method? Yes, it does. And if it is not done in the proper method, the practice would be useless, or worse, it will be harmful. There are a couple of common methods that all musicians follow, no matter what instrument they play.
