Benefits
Multi-Instrumentalists In A Band
book instrumentalist
All great musicians such as Paul McCartney, Beck and Prince have something in common. They all are certainly successful recording artists and winners of Grammy awards, but they have something similar deeper. They all are multi-instrumentalists who have recorded many albums while playing different instruments. Prince, in particular, is known to have played 27 instruments with proficiency.
While a multi-instrumental artist is a wholesome musician who understands every aspect of music, he or she can prove to be an asset for the band too. Here are some benefits of keeping multi-instrumentalists in a band.
- Understanding of all Forms of Music
Artists
perform with other musicians most of the time. Hence, more you
interact with other members; better will be companionship with them.
For instance, if you play guitar in your current band but you also
play bass, you will be able to understand the intricacies of a bass
composition which will make you a better bandmate then others. This
is true for any style of ensemble or music.
- Acquaintance with more Languages
Every
instrument is associated with a language of its origin. Therefore,
playing multiple instruments will acquaint you with more languages.
One language helps you to learn the other language, just as English
helps us to learn Latin, French and Spanish, and vice versa.
- Effective Band Leading
Playing
many instruments can make you an effective leader of the band because
you understand everyone’s role. This makes you a bridge between
them and other members of the band. For instance, to make a drummer
understand how to play good music, you just have to go to him and
play something good.
- Getting more Gigs
Music
producers and event management companies always hire
live bands with
multi-instrumentalist musicians. A band containing
multi-instrumentalists will be able to entertain the crowd more and
hence will bring more business for these companies. Therefore, if you
are comfortable with keyboards, acoustic guitar, bass, tambourine,
and sing background vocals too, you will be able to earn more gigs
for your band.
- Additional Income
Multi-instrumental
artist can get students to teach in large numbers. If you want to
teach lessons to the next generation, you will have more avenues than
the individual teaching just one instrument. It can also provide you
an additional source of income while your brand is not established.
- Motivation and Peace
While
you learn more than one instrument, you learn to be more patient and
determined. It also develops flexibility in you since each instrument
has a unique style of playing. To reach a level of proficiency in
another instrument can be very frustrating while you have mastered
one instrument. You might feel like a beginner all over again but it
is all worth in the end because you get a deep understanding of
music. It opens more avenues for you as you can then compose music
also. But, you should always give maximum time to your primary
instrument since becoming a genius in one set of instrument and then
learning other instruments is always good for you and your band.
