Before you answer with the word &#8220;money&#8221; there are two other things to consider: <strong>knowledge, inspiration <\/strong>and a solid <strong>plan<\/strong>! In this article we will hopefully provide all three of these things. There are certain components of a rehearsal room that are <strong>indispensable<\/strong>, without them the musicians would either not hear themselves or the output of their musical efforts would be less than satisfactory. Of course, many bands start out humbly, <strong>jamming unplugged<\/strong>, huddled in a circle in their parents&#8217; <strong>basement<\/strong>. But once you reach a certain level of skill and commitment (or not) it&#8217;s time to think about a <strong>highly-functional space dedicated for your craft<\/strong>&#8230;\u00a0???<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">1.
