Starting a band can increase your musical abilities in a very fun way but it takes a lot of efforts So before making the first step - make sure your intensions are serious.

Sharing musical ideas with your friends in the basic foundation of band work so start consulting with your musician friend and get their opinion.

A normal band includes: A keyboard, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and a singer. But if you add a special string instrument for example it will give your band a unique quality which is very important for success in the musical world.

The best way of finding new musicians for your band is asking teachers who teach the instrument your looking for to contact you with their best students.

Finding an isolated place to practice is difficult, try a basment or a shelter. If you can't find one try asking a local comunity center to let you play there in exchange for free concerts that your band will provide.

Practice makes perfect, NEVER quit practicing even when your sound is clean and accurate.

Bring a musician you know to hear your band and advice.

Use every chance you get to schedule as much "gigs" (shows) as possible, and never go on stage unprepared!!!

Try to write as many original songs as possible, a band can not get famous using only cover versions.Check out our Tips for writing your own songs
