i heard that you cant really get a good job if you learn music..

but what if you cant help it? you know...like youhave a passion for it and you must learn music no matter what?

i play the flute and my dream is to become a great flautist one day and im really determined as well but with comments from people regarding this...im not so sure..

R U Kidding me?!...There are so many jobs!...lol. I mean, if you mean like...getting into an orchestra...yeah, that`s a little tough, cause they can only take so many flutes...but, people need musicans to play at weddings, formal anything really...you can teach with private lessons, or at a school...the list keeps going on and on...there is SO MUCH YOU CAN DO WITH MUSIC!...lol.

ah there are so many oppertunities for us young musicians... well high school is rather obvious with concert, jazz, marching, pep, and emsamble bands..

in college we can do the same, participate in these on a larger scale, or major/minor in music performance or education

you can be a band director, instructor, performer, competition judge, composer, work in music retail, and all sorts of things.

ah the wonderful world of music

wow!! i didnt know that you can do those jobs! THats wot i want!! LOL!

but thanks for informing me about this...because...i am currently making a really tough decision.. (-_-")

but i think now...its off to music college then for me!!

as for the orchestra, maybe i will start off in small ones first and tackle prestigious ones later! LOL

wheeeee! i cant wait!!

but this is a very long story to joining the music college...because, i did not take any exams yet but i am really interested in learning music. i have experience for flute (total of 4 years after Alevels) but then between this year , im working as hard as i can and learn music theory.

The thing about this college is that they give oppurtunity to students who do not have much qualifications in music (like me lol) but have a really great interest and passion towards the subject and in the first semester, they will train you very hard from grade 1-5 stuff... and in the next 5 semesters, its grade 6-8 stuff..

*phew* sounds very challenging but im up for it!

Flautists...here i come!! wooohoo!
thanks for making my day !

and i just wish people would stop making stupid comments about music jobs..!

:0 you know what? I Play the flute too!!!!!!!!! It is so fun and great!!!!!!! So don`t give up!!!!!!!



P.S LOL and e-mail me all you flutist`s out there .you too. Feel free to ask a question about flutes anytime.Columbiana, Alabama
