TODAY I ANSWER Email ABOUT MUSIC CAREER TOPICS
My boyfriend is in a band and he is determined to make it as a musician.. Besides doing shows how would he achieve this?
Additional Details
He wants to do whatever he can with music. he is super talented and has no addictions besides guitar. He's good at everything but loves guitar. I was looking at schools but don't know if going to school is better than first hand experience (getting out there).
AMANDA Z,
Thank you Amanda for supporting your boyfriend. I have seen so many people in your situation become jealous and try to make him choose between his art and his relationship when really one ALWAYS compliments the other.
To answer your question there is no doubt in my mind that education is NOT going to hurt anyone who wants to pursue a career in music. Now, paying for a good one may be an issue but I would encourage him to get both because he will if he goes to a college to study music.
I myself went to Berklee and there is nothing better than playing with people that are way beyond where you are at because it forces humble attitude adjustments (which musicians need) and it forces you to get better! Win/Win.
The other thing I would suggest is to take advantage of the infinite music resources available on the internet.
Music Think Tank is great. There are many free discussion groups and get together and he can start networking and lining up his career right there.
Fame is a numbers game and the odds are in the millions to one. However, making a living at music is absolutely possible if a person is willing to work, work, work at it.
I hope that helped.
Well, that is it for today folks but join me again next week for another question and coming up later this week a blog about creating your music career blueprint.
Much easier than WINGING it!
Peace,
Kyle O
