What are some musical career paths?
I’m in Senior School in Australia and am involved with nearly every musical aspect at school. As a result, I would really like to take up a career path surrounding music. I play two instruments (trumpet and guitar) and am developing a thorough understanding of musical theory and the history of music. I understand that being performing music at a professional level is a rare opportunity, so I was wondering if anyone could point out some other musical career paths.
The number one thing I can advise you is to go into Music Education and Teach at a school.
First it is a stable job and Pay.
As a freelance musician you have to rely on luck and most likely other jobs just to make ends meet at the begining. But as a school teacher you still get most nights off to have a band to play with.
I have done almost every aspect of the Music world. I have been a concert producer, artistic Agent, Music Educator, Performer, Soloist and stage hand.
The most stable is and will be education.

Pocket Trumpet $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The pocket trumpet is a compact size B trumpet, with the same playing range as the regular trumpet. It is a nonstandard instrument, not to be found in orchestral brass sections and is generally regarded as a novelty. The tubing is wound more tightly than that of a standard trumpet to reduce its size while retaining the instruments range. It is used mostly by trumpet players as a practice instrument, something they can pack in a suitcase and take with them when their standard trumpets would be awkward to carry. Although not having a reputation as a serious orchestral instrument, it has occasionally been used in jazz or other ensembles to add flair and variety. The concept of reducing the brass instrument size without reducing the resonating tube length can be seen in several 19th century models of cornet. Pocket cornets have been constructed since the 1860s, supposedly used in marching bands. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Wind Woodwind Single-reedThe clarinet is a musical instrument in the woodwind family. The name derives from adding the suffix -et (meaning little) to the Italian word clarino (meaning a type of trumpet), as the first clarinets had a strident tone similar to that of a trumpet. The instrument has an approximately cylindrical bore, and uses a single reed. In jazz contexts, it is sometimes informally referred to as the "licorice stick." Clarinets comprise a family of instruments of differing sizes and pitches. The clarinet family is the largest such woodwind family, with more than a dozen types, ranging from the BB contrabass to the A soprano. Of these, many are rare or obsolete, and music written for them is usually played on the common types. The unmodified word clarinet usually refers to the B soprano clarinet, by far the most popular clarinet. A person who plays the clarinet is called a clarinetist or clarinettist. Johann Christoph Denner invented the clarinet in Germany around the turn of the 18th century by adding a register key to the earlier chalumeau. Over time, additional keywork and airtight pads were added to improve tone and playability. Today, the clarinet is used in jazz and classical ensembles, in chamber groups, and as a solo instrument.

10 $18.98 Norwegian improv trio Supersilent’s latest CD sounds more like their middle-period work than their last album, 9, did. That disc found the three remaining members of the group (drummer Jarle Vespestad having departed) playing Hammond organs and creating Tangerine Dream-like soundscapes. This time, they’ve returned to other instruments: trumpet, piano, keyboards, and electronics. Some pieces sound like outtakes from trumpeter Arve Henriksen’s solo work (he’s recorded for Rune Grammofon and also for ECM, and the latter imprint’s atmospheric approach seems to have gripped him), while others are louder and more electronic/distorted, but with no rhythm of any kind ever turning up, the music all sounds ambient and environmental. It’s meant to drift past you in a vaguely pleasing blur, and it does. Occasionally, something really beautiful will happen, but this is improvised music, so it’s never repeated. Existing fans of the group will probably see 10 as a welcome return to form after the unpleasant detour of 9. New listeners will find it a weird mix of extremely breathy trumpet, placid piano, and electronic hisses and crunches, never quite adding up to any kind of coherent statement, but nice while it lasts. ~ Phil Freeman, Rovi |
