What does a band need - band forming tips?!


Question: Hey, so me and 2 friends want to start a band. So before we start buying/learning instruments, can anyone help us figure out what a band *needs* and such?

We have:
- 2 of us own/play clarinet well.
- 2 of us own /can't play at all acoustic guitars
- 1 of us has access to an electric bass guitar and amp

We thought of getting some form of drums, a violin (lol) and keyboard.

But ... we are still only 3 people all together.

Anyway, tips? Advice?

well first you should really get a lead vocal maybe some back up singers (2-4) and uhm you should probably lose the clarinets but no worries playing clarinet helps with finger movement. hmm learn how to play guitar i think the best way to learn how to play its to take 10 lessons and once you know the chords and can play a few songs try putting different parts of songs together to make a new one. i know sounds stupid buts that's how i learned. hmm you'll need someone who's really good at writing poetry for a writer. violin is a good idea. hmm drums are very tricky Ive tried to learn how to play but I'm not coordinated enough. for drums you should probably put up flyers to find someone who can play them well enough

i hope i helped at least a little especially because I'm in a band myself. GOOD LUCK

You need someone who will write music. You also need a vocalist, if you really want to be successful. Hardly any bands without vocalists gain much success. You also all need to take lessons for your preferred instrument, as it is no use having even one person who can't play, as they will bring the whole thing down with them.
