Some managements will be helpful in making songs, thus we could analyze what we have and haven?t done yet with our creations. I often involve my band in a song creation, and based on my experience, there are four steps we need to arrange a song. Here they are : 1. ?Song Characterization? phase Here, all musicians gather to make some warming up, this process could be said as a personal recognition between players. There are no rule in this phase, it?s just for having fun and to share happiness in playing music. This process spend about one hour intensively. 2. ?Take a Break? phase This phase is far from music activity, it?s purposed to increase musicians friendship, anyhow, a band is like a family. Time spent is filled with having dinner together, tell a joke, share about girlfriend/boyfriend, playing cards, and more. 3. ?Song Making? phase A song is ini guitar strap locks tiated with idea that has been made before by one or several persons. Then the idea is introduced to another players to be evolved and perfected. This phase is divided in three sub-phase, they are : a. Chording; is to determine the basic chords of a song. b. Jamming; is to evolve the basic chords into more improved chords by playing it over and over. Then we evaluate what we have done and make a better composition. d. Sequencing; is a result from evaluation above to get a standard arrangement. 4. The last is : ?Song Perfectionating? phase This phase is done by performing the new created song in a real stage or music studio, casually I bring some listeners to get their responses. Their opinions can be vary, and could be our new song needs to be fixed in some parts. If this happens, we have to review it again and repeat the steps from the first above unlikely.
