This way, you will have a relaxed atmosphere with eachother which makes making music more enjoyable.

Problem solving is an important skill to have, as any problems could arise when you least expect it. Handling problems under pressure is a great skill to have, especially if you are performing on stage, infront of an audience.
Commitment
Commitment is a very important skill to have in the performing world. Without any commitment people will struggled to become so successful. This skill is a key into becoming a good performer, as it is a job to do on your own for other people. for example, when in a band, you must be motivated and committed to them. It could be by turning up to practices for example. therefore they rely on you to not let anyone down.
