Hi people

I was just wondering, lots of people are vey dedicated to music would you plan on doing it as a career?

I would probably want to be a solo performer- if I get good enough at the violin and flute. I'd also like to try going into pop and rock music- like playing the backing music for bands on an electric violin.

i wanna be a concert player or a solo classical singer when i grow up...

i want to be a teacher but id also like to be in an orchestra or something!

Id like to be a music journalist

I would love to be a concert performer on the viola or piano (viola would be my first choice) but I would also love to be in an orchestra.

I just really really really want to be in an orchestra, preferably as principal- so i can do all the solos! (lol- im such a show-off!)

a)Music teacher
b)Concert Preformer
c)Singer
d)Join an orchestra
e)Professer in music

f)other, please state
accompanist or something, examiner, critique . . .
eh, i like them all!

I said a concert performer but i would also like to be a music therapist

i am actually teaching piano now which is great, but it makes me realise how bad it was for my teachers when i never used to practise!!!

i'd absolutely love to be one of those people who plays a big black grand piano somewhere like the Ritz or Savoy - and i think it'd be slightly less terrifying than concert performances!!!

Accompanying would also be good - my friend and i are about to start giving private performances (she's a flautist and saxophonist and I play piano) so i'm looking forward to that - there are just so many options!!

id like to be a teacher but i want to play in an orchestra 2! can u do both?
jess

jess-i hope you can do both coz thats what i want to do!

I would like to be a composer!

of course you can! my teacher is a horn player in an orchestra and teaches in the evenings and during the day a few days a week. Even though he's a full time member of the orchestra he's in, there are only two or three rehearsals a week plus the concert- lots of free time left for teaching!

i would like to be in the raf band to start with and then go on to be a special needs teacher for secondary school kids teaching music and relaxation.
if i am going to get in to the raf band i need to pass my grade eight by time i am 18.
i am 16 now and have just pass my grade 3, is it possible to get to grade 8 in 2 years

I'd love to be a concert performer- but somehow, i don't think i'll ever be good enough
How come composer isn't included in the list?
I love composing- it's so encouraging to know that you can actually play a piece exactly how it was meant to sound- right down to the last note (even if the reason for that is the fact you wrote it yourself )

hey, I was just wondering, would anyone like to become an examiner? (for Royal Schools of course!) I mean that would be pretty interesting wouldn't you think?

hiya!!

like evryone i would oooove to become a professional musician!!! but alas, it is so complicated and difficult. i will undoubtedly become a music teacher of some sort??? but my ambition is to be a film composer or work in musical composition, i really like some of webbers stuff. i really want to write an overture!!!! i think im gonna do it for my AS

anyway!!! we will all suceed!! im sure of it!!

see ya!

What about the Army, Royal AIr Force or Royal Marines. They all have vacancies for musicians and its a great way to get paid for doing a hobby.

I voted for singer... I want to be a singer on stage in West End or Broadway... ** dreams**

With the fear of sounding like a naive 5 year old- I want to be a proffessional singer. I don't know exactly how, or if I'm good enough. I'm hoping to go to a conservatoire (fingers crossed)

Ooo...I definitely want to be a professor in music, even though I'm aware of the fact that I'll have to have very good qualifications. Hahaha...however, I've always thought about how nice it would be to be an examiner instead. Being on the other side just appeals to me a lot. Oh well. I think I should just dream on.

I really really really want to be a concert performer!

and an orchestra player!!

but i have to kil myself for starting my instrument at a late age.

I, like alot of others,would absolutely love to be a concert performer. Piano rocks and I love playing it!I started kinda late at 13 so I dunno whether that will happen.Working towards a diploma right now and hoping to go to college some time soon....

music teacher
singer
or work in a pop industry.. wow lots of ideas to choose from.. hmm..

I want to be a piano teacher someday, doing private teaching at home and music school

I am a dedicated musician and would consider it quite a waste if I did not use the musical ability I have gain in my career. I am not contimplating a career in music but think that music tuition would be an excellent way of suplimenting my income!

I WANT TO BE A CONDUCTER !!!

Anyone out there in their mid-20s...and have a serious consideration in a change of career? And want to become a piano teacher instead of doing what you are doing for your job now?
I think i would feel so much better if i know i'm not the only one =(
many of you in this thread want to be some sort of music teacher. Kindly share your reasons?


thanks!
