How Do You Choose How Many People Should Be In Garage Band?
• Decide what genre your garage band will be. A rock band requires at least three people, a classical one will require at least 5 people, a jazz band 3, blues 4, vocal 1 etc. • Look at your budget. Bands that play rock and other genres require amplifiers which cost about $5000 (if they are starting out with no instruments). Equipment for a classical, blues, or jazz band costs a bit less. • Consider the size of the area do you have to work with (take into mind drummers, keyboarders, and dancers if you have any). • Discuss the number with any existing members. See how they would feel about letting x number of people join the band and how it would benefit everybody. Out of everyone who wants to join your band, see who’s really got talent. Remember, quality before quantity. It’s better to have one really good bass player than three bad ones.
