Q. Why is it important for a band member to rehearse
on a regular basis?
A. A player of an instrument should strive to play to
perfection. If band members do not rehearse regularly they will not be able to
play at there full potential which not only hurts there performance as an
individual but also the whole band. For example if a member has not put in
enough time and effort they may struggle to play the song properly and possibly
miss their cues causing others to get confused and end up ruining the dynamic
of the set piece. Also if a member does not rehearse it shows a lack of
motivation and enthusiasm, which will most likely cause future issues.
Q. Why is it important for members to help each other
with things such as set-up/down and rehearsals?
A. If a lot of time is spent on set-up/down then the
equipment will become more familiar. It is necessary for a person playing in a
band to know how to use the hardware and software around them. A member of a
band should also be there for other people, to help if needed with any and all
issues. This shows that they are supportive and not just there for there own
benefits. You can’t have a band with one member! Also if a member acts this way
they will gain respect within the band and they will become be a tighter unit
and be able to play without tension.
Q. Is it essential that the members work well as a
team?
A. Yes, if a band is not getting along it can put
strain on recording sessions and performances and prevent them from playing as
well as they can. Also if members are not getting along then they won’t give
others constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is essential because if
there is a problem or a habit that a particular person doesn’t notice it won’t
be resolved unless pointed out.
Q. How important is it for band members to keep their
instruments in good condition?
A. It is one of the most important things a member of
a band should do. If an instrument is not in good working condition then it
won’t sound the way it’s supposed to. And that will ruin whichever song is
being played.
