When it comes to working as a team, the best place I find myself at my most creative is when I work with other musicians. I write quite a bit of music on my own, but a lot of it is fragmented and feels like there's pieces missing. When I bring my ideas to a group, they fill in the cracks almost instantly. My favorite projects are when I get to collaborate on classic songs with my mates in my wedding band, and when I get to combine sounds from multiple influences when writing originals.
On the flip side, I find it hard to work when someone in a group is reluctant to accept ideas that aren't their own. Just this past semester, a group project turned out to be really difficult because of a group member not wanting to participate or ask questions if it didn't apply to her ideas. I think those instances are far and few in-between, but they're a learning experience when they come along.
