You’ve written and recorded the songs.
Now you’re practicing the songs for the show.
So when do you go from practicing the songs to working on the show?
One possible answer is…once you’ve practiced the songs until they’re ‘perfect’, have one more rehearsal.
Without any music to get better at, creative people need the next creative outlet which is to try something new. A different part, a dance move, a new section, a different delivery, a different groove.
And now you’re working on the show.
Important to note…Most artists and bands want to rehearse the song properly before getting creative with it for the show, which is when the preceding idea applies. But you don’t have to do it that way. You can take of the training wheels from the start. There’s no rule that says you have to know how to play the recorded version before you can come up with the live version. The live version is the only one you’re ever going to play. So it might be helpful to just start there.
