Music as a career
I'm in 11th grade and ive relatively had success being a singer by posting covers on the site Youtube. I got up to 60,000+ views in each video without telling my friends about it, because i was doing popular songs so it was easy for people around the world to find me without promoting myself. But soon stopped. I'm not sure if should go to college for the music program, or keep making videos and hope some producer finds me like a lot of other artists that have been discovered. #music #singer

I play instruments but how do i get signed by a label company or even get recognized by other people?

How successful is the music production/sound engineering field?
How successful is the music production/sound engineering field? My brother is heading into the 3d modeling field for animated features and video games but commented that not many people enter that field so more often than not people find jobs with ease for 3d modeling. I was wondering if this was somewhat similar for sound engineers and music producers, and with living in the bay area I wondered if that would help with seeking a job in the field. It interests me due to the fact most of the day for me revolves around listening to music or sounds within a game. Seeing how many artists now a days gave success even without going to school for music engineering also peeked my interest given that if get a degree in the field it may help me even more but i'm not sure of that either. #musicproduction #soundengineering #music
How do I decide what I want to do all my life?
I've always had several different interests that don't relate to one another necessarily. I'm interested in writing, music, psychology, dermatology, being a public figure, acting, and art, among several other things. The thing is, I don't like one any more than another. Doing all at the same time is what would make me most happy, but I'm unsure of how to go about that. Also, in terms of schooling it seems impractical, especially when it comes to money. I want to do a lot of things at once, otherwise, I don't want to do anything at all. What should I do? #writing #music #psychology #dermatology #public-figure #acting #art #confused
How do you change your major after starting college?
I'm not sure what I'll be studying yet but I am leaning towards medicine, chemistry or music. I feel like I'm going to end up changing my major, and I would like to know ahead of time how to do it. #medicine #chemistry #music #majorchange
Will I need to observe all grade levels if I only plan to teach band in high school or above?
I plan on becoming a band director in a high school and possibly a private school or boarding school later on in my career. I’m curious when I am getting my teaching degree if I will have to observe younger classes like elementary and middle school if I don’t plan on teaching in those environments. #music #teaching
Will emailing professors at my top choice school increase my chances of being accepted?
I was advised to email the music professor who would be in charge of my studio and begin developing a relationship with him before he sees my audition because it would increase my chances of being accepted. In theory, this sounds logical, but does it work? Ethics aside. #music
Should I participate in a college curricular band with a possible minor in music or join a club band?
I am definitely going to do marching band, and I know some colleges require curricular band to participate. However, not all of the schools I applied to require this. #band #music #minors
Should I take Music courses in College, even though I don't know anything?
I plan on becoming a book editor - so an English major, basically. Recently I've been watching vocalists videos on YouTube, and have become fascinated with the creative world of vocal technique. My college offers a plethora of Music courses, and I really want to learn about the subject, but I'm sorely lacking. I have no singing ability - my talking voice alone can't stop cracking. I also don't know how to play an instrument, or only some music terminology. I talked to some musical stars who urged me to expand my horizons, but I'm on scholarship, and worry about failing the class. I've been the dumbest kid in the class before and it was hard to cope with. I don't want these prestigious professors thinking I'm a nitwit. Do you think I should go for it? #college #music #music-education #musical-theatre
How easy is it to major in music and minor in graphic arts in most colleges?
I will have a much better chance of getting into colleges and getting scholarships in music than in graphic arts. I have been playing trumpets since 3rd grade and I am pretty good. But, I don't wan't to be a performer for a living; my long term goal is graphic arts. #trumpet #music #graphic-design #musicscholarships #graphic-designer
What kind of scholarships are available for music students?
I've been in marching band and show choir 2 years and advanced concert choir a year. I also plan to be apart of 4-8 musical theater productions as well at my high school. Im a sophomore in high school and plan to take music theory class my junior or senior year and am on track to letter in music. My main college degree would be clinical psychology but I love music and want some sort of degree in it so I can use it for my "dream job" which would incorporate both degrees. I would be paying for lots of my schooling myself and am interested what kind of scholarships I can get for my musical involvement? #music #scholarships #musiceducation

Has anyone combined a dual major in Music and Psychology and what kinds of work are there that use both degrees?
My name is Aiden. I am 17 years old and I live on the Southern Oregon Coast in a little town with about 1000 people. I am going to George Fox University in Fall 2018. I love both music and psychology and I would like to find a career that combines and uses both of them. I am having some concerns about attempting a double major as well as some questions about whether or not it would really be worth it and what I can do with both of them after I graduate from college. #psychology #music #college #college-major #double-major #academic-advising

Will joining the police force after college affect my job placement?
I'm in a music business program to hopefully work in a recording studio and run FOH audio for bands, and I'm curious if joining the police force right after school would affect my opportunities in these fields. #audio-engineering #production #music #law-enforcement #police #audio
How much money can you get if you are a professional trumpet player?
I am trying to think of back up possibilities of what I’m wanting to major in doesn’t work. I’ve been told by multiple that I am very good at the trumpet and that I could be a proffessional. I just don’t know if I will be able to live on that money, depending on how much. #trumpet #undecided #music #music-performance #salary

As a pianist, how much practice time should I put in on pieces for other people vs. My own lesson rep?
I'm a music education freshman and have picked up some accompanying jobs. I'm just wondering, in general, how much time should be spent on those pieces? #music #music-education #piano #pianist
As a music education major should I go straight to masters or wait and work with a school?
I am a music education freshman and am considering getting my masters in conducting. I'm wondering if it is worth it to wait before I continue schooling? #music #music-education #graduate-school- #conducting
How do I combine math and music and teaching?
I love math. Before I loved it in school, I would go work out math puzzles with my uncle Richard, compete and train with Math Counts, take the AMC tests, and calculate measurements with my dad in his workshop; now I take the hardest math classes at my school and tutor math through National Honor Society. I’ve gotten to study fractals, harmonics, and the Gamma function through those classes, and the more I study, the more I discover that math is awesome. When school was easy, math was a place I could go to get challenged, to get lost and find myself again. Once school got hard, my perseverance from math helped me push through. But I always hated that most of my peers never felt the way I did about math. They would groan whenever homework was assigned, complain for hours about tricky tests, and get so bored and lost in math class that they would fall asleep. For the past few years, I’ve tutored both formally and informally for my peers and seen just how much a teacher can change a student’s attitude. It only takes one bad math teacher to convince someone that they’re “bad at math,” but one good teacher, like the fabulous Mrs. Olsen, can give them hope. She is still spreading her knowledge in her 33rd year of teaching and makes every student in her classes feel confident about math. I want to be like her. I want to stop pushing kids away from STEM solely because they don’t have the natural talent to succeed under a bad teacher. I want to end the default “I’m bad at math” and replace it with the confidence of a student who is ready to use their math for the rest of their life. But, I am a musician. Music holds me together through the long nights of homework and studying, and I would not be able to keep my grades up without it. I want to do everything in my power to bring music to people in every community, so my heart is slashed open every time I see another arts budget cut, another music teacher fired, another kid told they’ll never succeed in the arts. After all, when a school is short on money, like many schools in America are, arts are the first things to go. While I love STEM and know that it will build the future, music will keep the people of that future passionate and alive. I want to earn a certification in math education and music education and bring music to low-income schools who have cut their arts budgets to stay afloat. I may not be able to teach full-time music, but I can be a math teacher to bolster STEM comprehension in a low-income school, while I also run a few music clubs on the side. This could grow to teaching a few in-school music classes, as well as offering free music lessons for students, or reaching out in some other way to spread music through my community. Is this feasible? What degrees should I get? What should I do? aaaaaaaaa #math #mathematics #music #music-education #music-industry
How do you choose the right career?
I wanted to become a surgeon since I was little, but as I got older, I also found an interest in both music and engineering. I want to choose the right career for myself, but I don’t know how. #surgery #engineering #music #whatdoido #passion
What is the next thing to do after discovering two things that you love doing?
I am currently fighting it out on my music and designing passion, I love both, yes I love music more and I grew up in church, half of my life has been in church, but I love music from the secular world a lot and some good Christian music, but no doubt that I love hip-hop rnb rap music a lot, so which do I pick? Because I find myself doing the mix of secular and gospel each time I try to compose music. Thank you all. #conflict of interest #career-choice #music #composing #design
