Music is not merely playing at the same time

Playing together consists of much more than merely playing at the same time.

There is a garage band on my way from campus to the bus. A few years ago, they were terrible musicians. With practice, they have become better at their instruments. This is good.

But, speaking as one who has played in a band for many years, playing together consists of much more than playing at the same time. It is critical for band-mates to listen to one another and to have the song in their hearts. Then the music happens. Otherwise it is merely noise.
