TRAINING & PROGRESSION
It’s important for a musician to continuously hone their craft. If you’re in a group, every band member needs to know the structure of the songs, and you need to make sure everything sounds ‘tight’ when you’re performing.
Practice makes perfect! When musicians aren’t performing, they’re often practising their material, writing new songs, recording demos and tweaking individual features of songs, such as hooks, drum fills and intros.
When it comes to career progression, it’s all about making a name for yourself. If you’re a songwriter and performer, you could end up making millions and playing all over the world to adoring fans.
If you’re a session musician, you could find yourself playing with some of the world’s greatest musicians and performers. If you play in an orchestra, you could end up playing at some of the most prestigious classical music events in the world.
Many musicians eventually take a step back from performing and focus their efforts on teaching the next generation of talented musicians.
