From: Dominik (co-editor of the music section)
Today I would like my little series "Realize your creativity - Start a Band" (in German: Realize your creativity and start a band) start in which I tell you piece by piece would, on what you need to pay anything if you want to start their own band.
bands there are now a dime a dozen. Almost daily, new "musical groups". But most of it usually disappears just as quickly into oblivion. Why this is so can be summed up easily: Lack of organization, unrealistic goals, musical differences, lack of experience and inadequate equipment are just some of the points that can lead to newly formed bands were before their first public appearance already dissolved again. Therefore, I would "start a band and maintained" in the near future from my own experiences on the subject report. This report should not be considered as "ideal way" or guide the band was founded - but there is a report that will serve as a little help.
Let me start - logically - with the band's foundation itself. The very first question I should ask me this is, "What kind of music do I want at all and speak I help my instrument good enough?" For a certain degree of "professionalism" should be easy to present, which is not in the years how long have played the instrument / measure learned, can be. It may well be the case that someone who started 3 years ago, already has more going for someone who is informed regularly for almost 10 years. This is then probably in his own discretion. This question is clarified, it is obviously equal to the next (and in my opinion the most important): "Who will be involved in all of the band" - meaning the "occupation" must be found. Of course, it is advantageous when the future band members already know well or with their friends, but one should not shy away in a strange look. This can happen in different ways.
The most popular way is, of course the Internet (WKW, Facebook, etc. Students VZ), but also notices in appropriate places, such as in music schools are, quite popular. Of course, you bring your patience, because it often takes longer until it finally gathered all the band members have. It is important, according to the desired style of music (which it is naturally align with the future "musicians") to select the cast, so that all the necessary tools are in place. If one takes this into account everything that a first step towards his own band has been made.
What next then, you'll get next time
