If you're in a band, you know that finding a time for rehearsal can feel harder than actually learning the songs. In my band, we rehearse on Sundays, usually right after having lunch with our families. Even though we have a set schedule, something can come up, and one person can't make it, so we may have to rearrange our weeks. At that point, that's when someone says, “Let's practice at home and put it all together at the next rehearsal.” And that's how you fall into one of the oldest traps in the history of bands: relying on individual practice instead of rehearsal, assuming everyone will practice (you won't), and that you will magically show up on the same page when you put it all together (it never happens).

The idea sounds good in theory. But in reality, when you get together, someone learned a different version, someone forgot a transition, and everyone shows up with a different idea of how the song goes, so you spend the first half hour figuring out where everyone is. But hey, the plan sounded fair enough, and at least it was worth trying. I wouldn't recommend doing that ever again, but it was worth trying.

The fun part is the special bond between bandmates. Musician friendships are based on creativity, patience, inside jokes, and disagreements over a setlist. From rehearsals to the soundcheck, from the live show to the recording studio, to finally seeing your music uploaded on Spotify… Few friendships are built on such a rewarding shared project. There's nothing more fulfilling for musicians than creating something together, watching it grow, and sharing it with others.
