Playing together in a band or ensemble can be a fun and rewarding activity. The group band environment requires band members to work together as a team to create music, which helps them develop important social skills such as communication, cooperation, and compromise.
Bands write multiple songs together and take a deep dive into lyric-writing, harmony, and the skills necessary to perform and create as an ensemble. Through this process, they aim to cultivate greater independence in their songwriting while honing the essential tools needed to confidently write their own music.
