Answer 1

Hey go on craigslist and find some of those instruments

You can start your band by finding some friends that play instruments make sure they are into music.

For practicing use the scales for the guitars pianos accordians whatever you are using.

You could search how people play music like different styles to get ideas.

For songwritting if you have someone or if you are a person that has the ear for music( hearing and being able to play) then you will haver really good song writing. :)

Answer 4

http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Rock-Band-in-High-School here is tips on how to start a band

tips for practicing: Practice with a Metronome, Set a Goal for Each Practice Session, Surround Yourself in Challenging Music, Use a Practice Pad, Educate Yourself On Drumming Musicially, Play "heel up" on the bass drum for more power and speed, Warming up before a gig, Really pay attention to dynamics, when learning a rhythm Say it, then play it. Videotape yourself (you will learn mistakes from this and will get better,

For a great practice pad idea, take an old mouse pad and cut it to fit a slab of wood. Mount it to a drum stand or simply sit it on a snare stand. Wholla, ...a new practice pad! And it will even fit into your stick bags.

remember PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!
