In this chapter, I take you through the different elements that have to work in harmony to enable you to create your music. Different rehearsing techniques can help you explain your sound to other musicians. And different recording techniques can help you produce the music you hear in your head. So by the time you’re performing on stage, your music has the energy and arrangement you envisioned.
