Music has always been passed on between bands – in rehearsal rooms, on shared stages and in conversations after shows. It works just as well today, wherever you are.
Mentoring
Follow a new band through one release. A meeting once a month is enough: go through the plan, answer questions and tell them what you wish you'd known. In Waveroom you can be invited as members and see the campaign, the results and the Journey.
Learn together in a group
A small group of bands meeting regularly and going through one lesson per meeting learn a lot from each other. Sweden and the Nordics have a ready-made format for it – the study circle run by study associations, with at least three people meeting at least three times. Elsewhere, a music school, a culture centre, a musician network or an online group works just as well. The lessons in Waveroom work as material: one lesson per meeting, with the task as homework.
Share what you've learned
What worked last release? What would you do differently? A post, a livestream or a short chat with a new band can save them months.
Why it pays off
You strengthen the scene you play in yourselves, and the one who teaches often learns the most.
Do it now: Offer a new band to follow their next release, and ask them to invite you as members in Waveroom.
