Play Live Music In A Band!

There are numerous ways to ensure that your live performance will be a success. The most important thing to remember is that you need to get comfortable on stage. While playing music, all musicians should make sure they are comfortable. They need to be relaxed and enjoy themselves in order to make the performance a success. It does not matter if your concert is free of cost, if the audience senses discomfort and unease from the performers, they will not be entertained.

Get Comfortable On Stage:

The first thing you need to worry about is doing everything possible in order to make yourself comfortable. There are different things you can do to get comfortable. You can mark an imaginary circle defining your space. Just be yourself and avoid everything that makes you uncomfortable. The heat coming out of the spotlight is a major source of discomfort but make sure that the audience does not feel your discomfort.

Prepare And Rehearse Very Well:

When you are doing a live band performance you need to rehearse a lot. While rehearsal is important to prepare you, it is not going to be the same once you get on stage. You will need to mentally prepare yourself beforehand for this. Once you enter the stage it is like entering a new zone. You need to forget all about your rehearsals. Just relax and play. You will do great!

Ignore Your Mistakes On Stage And Move On:

When on stage you need to be confident. If you make a mistake don’t worry, the best way to cover it up is keep going on with the show. Hopefully the crowd will not notice. Another important tip to cover up a blunder is that if a wrong note is played then instead of stopping or correcting it, replay that note. This will make it seem like the pattern of the performance. The audience will not even notice the mistake.

Similarly, if the vocalist happens to forgets the lyrics he should reverse and go to the start of that line and start again. He might be able to remember it this time.

In case nothing works you don’t need to worry, you can laugh or smile and in this light mood admit to your audience you made a mistake. The audience will surely understand and laugh back and you can move on.

Play For The Sake Of Fun:

You shouldn’t play for the sake of money but for fun. Play for the love of music, the passion that runs in your blood. If you are looking for fame and money choose something else. Start up a business with a rich relative or friend or something similar. Join an investment bank. This may sound cheesy but date Paris Hilton if fifteen minutes of fame is all you want. Post videos on YouTube or any other money generating activity. If you don’t play for fun, don’t play at all. And especially don’t form a band and play for an audience!
