Finding musicians with whom you will feel as comfortable as possible is the main task when creating a musical group. After all, the success of its activities depends on the composition of the team.
Instructions
Step 1
There are two paths you can take when selecting members for a group. The first is to recruit professional musicians who will treat team play like work. The second way is to select members for the future group from among their friends or acquaintances who, perhaps, do not know the instrument so well, but you have a mutual understanding with them. The choice of this or that path depends directly on the goals that you are pursuing.
Step 2
If you decide to recruit members of the musical group from among your friends, then announce this to those whom you would potentially like to see in the group. After that, do several rehearsals with different line-ups and decide which one is the most successful. As a rule, such groups are created more often with the aim of “playing for themselves”. But if this develops into a serious activity over time, the group will have a chance of success, which will be facilitated by the long-term connection between its members. Minus one - it will take time.
Step 3
If you decide to recruit members of the group from among people who make music professionally, place advertisements for the search for musicians. There are several options that you can take advantage of to be more effective.
Step 4
The first option is online ads. Use social networks for this, look for communities in your city dedicated to music, communities dedicated to finding musicians for bands. City forums are also a good option for posting ads.
Step 5
The second option is advertisements in music stores. Many of them have special boards on which everyone can post information about the sale and purchase of musical equipment or instruments, about the search for musicians. The audience of such stores is the most targeted, so your ad will not be overlooked.
