i want to be a professional musician

i want to be a concert performer

Subatomic_Star, people have different passions for different subjects. Yours is joining the poice force and there is nothing wrong with that

just out of interest... what does "professional musician" mean? does that mean orchestral performer?

because I think that teachers are professional musicians...
they're musicians, i think we're all agreed... and they get paid for it... so aren't they professional?

and i guess that could apply to any career in music...

unless there's some job called "professional musician" which I have previously been made unaware of? if so, please enlighten me...

i voted for teacher by the way... but i want to do orchestral playing as well if i get good enough... i hope it's possible to do both!

I know this is probably a stupid question, but what exactly is a professional musician?

I voted concert performer. I dunno if i really want to do that or not but i'm considering a major in performance so it seemed fitting...

You haven't put in composer in that poll...because I really want to be one besides a performer

Ooops, sorry!

i'm sorry...i should have clarify myself...i really want to be a concert pianist as well as an opera singer...or possibly an organist

Hi

I would like to be a doctor...in either emergency medecine, paediatrics or plastics..

However...I will still keep playing piano and flute as i enjoy it and it is relaxing!!


Lots of luv

I want to be a translator!

I will like to be music editor & examiner, performer, teacher ... too ambitious

My uncle is a neuro surgeon, he loves it. just thought I'd say

you guys all seem like youve got it sussed!! my god, wish i could be like that!!
I have been toying with the idea of either law medicine or music, - all completely different, but i could imagine doing them all. maybe i should be a musically theraputic lawyer or something.........................ARGH!!

a few stats for you:

28 people in my GCSE music class...
11 took AS music...
4 are taking A2 music... out of us four, three want to be musicians, and the other wants to work in musical theatre

most of the people who dropped music want to be lawyers or scientists. i think.

(something I noticed the other day - there are 3 sixth formers in the oboe section of my school orchestra and they're all taking maths, further maths and physics for a-level. isn't that weird?)
