Bands and Musical Groups

There is a difference between bands and musical groups. Being in a band you have to play a musical instrument. Rather it be drums,play a guitar or a bass. You also need a singer. Being in a musical group is just either 4 to 6 people singing and dancing.

When I was younger I wanted to be a singer in a group, I asked my mom if I could get singing lessons and she told me that I would right away give up. I think the reason i gave was I never tried and she never gave me the support I needed. Now I am an adult I am making my own decisions and trying things out on my own. I know that I need to practice my craft in order to be good at it. I was in band in 5th and 6th grade and I was horrible at it cause I never practiced and no one taught me. My never pushed me to to do anything I didn't want to do when I was younger. It was something I wanted to do and I did it. But I did wish I has lessons.

Now I am still doing what I want and I will learn to play the guitar and turn my poetry into songs. This is what I have wanted to do for quite some time. I have to thank my friend Elliot for inspiring me to get into the guitar. Also the band Tally Hall for inspiring to start practicing the guitar again. Because of them I am open to anything that comes my way.

Inspiring female guitar players:

• Sheryl Crow
• Bonnie Raitt
• Susanna Huffs (The Bangles)

Last summer I had went to my first Bangles concert with a friend and I have to say that Susanna Huffs is by far my favorite guitar female player. She rocked it out.
