Valuable Tips on How to Select a Musician-Part 2

Here is a continuation of the tips from last week posting.

1. Give the musicians your musical requests.
If you have a particular selection or selections you want
included be sure to discuss this in advance with the musicians so
they have time to get the music and rehearse.

2. Discuss your expectations.
Musicians should dress and present themselves according to the
theme of your event. Be very clear on what duties you expect of
the musician, such as when to play a certain selection. Be as
detailed as possible. Don't leave anything to chance.

3. Amplification is important.
Ask if the musicians are providing their own sound system and be
sure it is electrically compatible with the venue, or is battery
powered.

4. Look for a harmonious working relationship.
If the musician is not responsive to your needs during
consultation, look elsewhere.Give the musicians your musical requests.
