Garage Bands

Many of the songs that stay with us as personal rock and pop anthems started in the discordant echoing of a garage or basement practice space. Making music with others is a fun way to share joys, concerns, and stories. For driven musicians, it can become a wonderful way to share a piece of themselves with the world. This electrifying book covers all the requirements for starting a band. Readers will see that—like members of any team—band mates need to be willing to compromise, learn from one another, work together, and persevere. Helpful tips such as choosing a band name, drawing up a band "constitution," and taking advantage of editing software are included.
