What we’re about
Want to improve your performance skills? Want to jam with others? Or maybe you like live music from a wide variety of different musical instruments. Perhaps you're looking to connect with others through music. Are you that person? Then you found the right group to join. <br>
This group is for both fun, and for improvement. Musicians can practice dealing with their performance anxiety and nerves, and people who appreciate music can enjoy watching us succeed or choke - but regardless of the outcome; to give support. <br>
We meet and then chat at the cafe after performances are done. Simple as. <br>
Our meeting spot is typically near the Auckland Domain Historic Garden, but be sure to read each event description as small changes could happen.
<br> [-----------------------Who should join your group-------------------------------]
Anybody who wants to improve musical performance, listen to live music from a wide variety of instruments, make new friends, or just enjoy an afternoon at the park. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to join us.
<br> [-----------Any dues or fees you plan to charge members------------------]
It’s all free of course, except for the cafe part where we’ll buy our own food/drinks.
That said, I’ll shout each performer a coffee of their choice afterwards.
<br> [The group's affiliation, if it's associated with a business or organization] <br>
No business or organisation – the group is for improvement and fun. All performers will heavily benefit from regular meetups.
<br>
[--------------------------------Additional Info-----------------------------------------]
Please be supportive of every performer; especially if they make an error. Errors and failure are common for musicians and it’s important to be respectful when it happens, and let them gather themselves, restart, or perhaps end if they want. <br>
All instruments/vocals are good, but preferably an acoustic for convenience. <br>
Acting or skits are also welcome. <br>
I want to emulate recital/performance conditions so excessive warm-ups are discouraged aside from tuning up.
If you have a Bluetooth speaker, please bring one as some performers may want to play with a backing track or youtube accompaniment.
<br>
[-------------------------Proposed time/scheduling--------------------------------]
Normally we meet every second Sunday at 2pm and follow from this:
<br>
2:00pm – meet time
2:15pm – introductions and performances
3:00pm – cafe to socialise and recap
~4:00pm – end
Suggestions are always welcome.
