1. For each question, choose the correct answer..

Playing music in a rock band is a great way to meet people who are interested in the same things
as you, and to have a lot of fun. The first thing you’ll need to do is decide what instruments you
want in your band. Most bands have one or two guitars, a singer, drums and keyboards, but you
can change this. However, every band must have drums – you will need someone who can play
those.

The next thing is to find your bandmates. Begin by making a poster. Describe the kind of music
you want to make and the instruments you want in your band. Put the poster up in your school or
college and ask your friends if they know anyone who would like to join.

Once you have a band, you’ll need to quickly think of a name. The best way to do this is to
spend two hours with your bandmates, writing down hundreds of ideas. Most will be really bad,
but there will be a few good ones. Choose something surprising and interesting, that people
won’t be able to forget.

Next, you’ll need to practise as much as you can. You will need a place where you can make a lot
of noise without making your neighbours angry. Trying to play quietly will not help you get
better. Don’t spend time learning songs written by other people. Try writing your own. And don’t
be afraid of writing about your normal everyday experiences. All bands begin like this.
