Orchestras often require vast concert halls the size of football stadiums with ample space and perfect conditions to allow their sound to resonate properly. This poses a challenge not only the the musicians when not everything is perfect, but also to the director who is normally in charge of choosing when and where to perform. Smaller ensembles, in contrast, don’t need tons of space and may instead even opt for small areas for a more intimate sound. Another advantage to their smaller size is that they can find a steady flow of income performing at meetings, parties, and anything else where background music would be appropriate and appreciated. Solo artists, much like with style, have complete freedom over their venues. These musicians may even become street performers and perform on city streets, subway stations, or anywhere else they see fit. Often times when thinking of classifications of music people look at the multitudinous genres and types, with little regard to the effect the performing group’s size has on so many different aspects of the music. This is of course forgivable as on the surface it seems unimportant, but when it is actually focalized it is realized that band size makes a world of difference in the way music can
