Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the amount of work that a particular gig can take to prepare? I certainly have. You might enjoy this Song Preparation Tracker spreadsheet I made to help get ready for gigs.

I have a gig coming up with St. Lucia, a great synth pop band. I’m very excited about it, but I had to learn a lot of music in a short amount of time. This is where my spreadsheet came in, helping me track my progress, sort songs by difficulty, and weigh those difficult songs more heavily when assessing my total readiness.

In this video I walk you through how it works. Feel free to grab the spreadsheet below:
