The job I have chosen is musician. Musicians play or and sing music. Some perform solo and some are in groups. They mostly make their music in studios and perform their songs on stage at concerts and parties they also perform on movies and on television. Some musicians travel all over the country and world for tours. They all don’t spend their time on music only sometimes they have to practice and rehearse for videos. Some musicians have music directors to lead the choirs. Arrangers also known as composers change the song if needed for example they can change jazz to rock. Most musicians work indoors and some work outdoors. The same go for concerts. Most musicians work at night or on the weekends. Some musicians work part time so they can be doing work while waiting on their next performance. Musicians work and live everywhere in the united states going to many other studios.

One of the main way to get ready to be an musicians is that you have to the talent and some should know how to play the instrument. Some play the piano, guitar, violin and the drums. Some write their songs on a computer for technical help. Some musicians use dancers and actors in their music videos. To start early you could join a school band or orchestra and that could help very well. Another way you could join a recreation center band or chorus. You could also help yourself to sing in front of friends and family so that you wouldn’t be scared to sing in front of people and strangers. Or you can perform at parties, family reunion and weddings. Musicians have to be comfortable performing in front of lots of people. The payments of the job depend on how popular the performer is. Most performers work for themselves. 50 percent of musicians work for themselves. Their earnings vary greatly and depend on how many jobs they can get. Others work for organizations. Self paid musicians perform at variety of events and venues.

There are many jobs when it comes to being a musician. You can be a musician, singer, composer and music directors and many other jobs. Competition to be a musician is very strong and not easy.
