Tour Tips: How to survive backstage…..

by Tammy Brackett

Touring musicians spend a lot of time in backstage and dressing room areas. Like hotel rooms, these range from top tier spaces with showers, refrigerators, and wide screen tvs to an abandoned 8×8 “office” area that looks more like a closet.

Since so much time is spent backstage and in dressing rooms, perhaps a portable backstage first aid kit should be part of your load in.

A simple small road case with things like candles, incense, pleasing photos, talismans, etc may be part of a backstage survival package.  Blankets and throws can be easily folded and brought out and tossed onto sofas.  Thin tapestries can be used on the wall. A portable humidifier helps the musicians as well as the instruments.

Remember the rules for hotel rooms and follow the same sanitizing procedures in a backstage area or dressing room.

With a little thought and planning, backstage areas and dressing rooms can become places of beauty and calm as you wait for your time on stage.

Boomer MUSIC LESSONS ROCK!

“I am 52. Since I was a child I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano. My teacher, Adrienne is wonderful. She is so patient and doesn’t mind doing things over and over. I am very pleased with my whole experience with Melody Music Studios. Adrienne ROCKS!!!”

It is NEVER too late to learn to play. Our friend Bill Blue in Key West is nearly 70 and is STILL RECORDING and RELEASING MUSIC!

My vocal lessons have enhanced my life!

Learning to sing isn’t just about singing. It’s about developing confidence…or rediscovering confidence….

“My vocal lessons have enhanced my life so much. I lost my confidence to speak, sing, interact with groups of people over, well, two. Donna has given back a lot of my confidence, helped me improve not only my voice but my self.

I so enjoy my time with Donna, we have good time and I consider her a friend now.
Melody Music Studios Rock!”

Fantastic Flute Lessons!

Flute lessons

We have had a fantastic experience with my daughter’s instructor. She took her from how to put instrument together to playing recognizable music quickly!

One of the most important aspects of music lessons is from an instructor to quickly take a student from not playing at all to playing recognizable music! It keeps the student very engaged. We believe in teaching kids at their level and we believe in instilling BELIEF in them!

We are DIFFERENT…..try a free lesson today!
