If you’re a classical musician who would like to join a band and play confidently in new styles of music, I put together a checklist to make it less overwhelming,

The checklist will give you a few things:

How to know when and what to play.

How to avoid "writers block", i.e., the feeling of having no idea what to do.

How to avoid getting "in a rut", i.e., finding yourself always repeating the same few ideas

How to make the other musicians you work with feel really comfortable and always want to call you back
