Learn make street music.
Musicians are always looking for new venues to play -- perhaps the most overlooked venue is the street. Making street music is a good opportunity to gain public performing experience and to hone your act in a low-pressure situation. You can also test your set-list by playing in the streets and get your name out. Most importantly, making street music is a fun way to enjoy music in a pure, informal way.
Instructions
1. Choose the street setting based on your instrumentation and style of music. Decide what kind of music you want to make and how it will sound in an open-air setting. If you are using acoustic instruments, consider a street setting that is quieter and allows sound to travel without being drowned out by noise. Electrified instruments can cut through outside noise more easily; however, electrified instruments require amplification, which can limit your mobility and location selection.
2. Practice before heading out to play. You may be playing in the street in a relaxed setting, but you will still have to have your songs rehearsed . Make sure that all of the musicians are on the same page regarding the set-list, solos and breaks.
3. Go out and play.The only way to get used to making street music is to actually do it. After several performances, you will get over nervousness and making street music will become a fun experience.
