Solutions to issues arising during rehearsals and performances

REHEARSALS ( group rehearsals/performance)

One of the biggest issues is the lack of attendance and practice from some of the members of the band, it makes the whole band progress go slow,also, this makes every rehearsal more difficult for everyone if the drummer is not there,or the guitarist etc. When a song is being rehearsed, the main point is to get everything sounding good,by working on dynamics,structure, and development of the song.

SOLUTIONS 

Some of thee musicians can play several instruments,thing that is very useful in this cases, as we could keep on progressing without one of the and members,also we always recorded as much as we could from the rehearsal so we could practice outside college,voice recordings,videos,music sheets among others were some of the techniques used during rehearsals.  All of this was very helpful also for the day of the performance,listening to the recordings in the tube or any method of transport in the mornings just before the performance gives you and idea of how do you want to perform, just the last little but important things,like amp settings,volume etc.

REHEARSALS (individual rehearsals/performance)

Practice is what makes musician progress,sometimes i didn't have enough time to practice during the day/evening, plus my headphones broke so it was very difficult for me to practice in the evenings,this made my progress to slow down,and made me struggle during rehearsals at the moment of playing.

SOLUTIONS

After a few weeks i managed to buy headphones,then i started practicing in the evenings in order to make my guitar playing smother,to achieve this, i practice no more then an hour an a half, so my muscles weren't too tired for next days rehearsals, i searched online for warm up techniques so i could play for longer hours during rehearsals.

These warm ups are very useful for the day of the performance too.
