Teacher Liner Notes Writer Opera Singer L N O A professional music career evolves over the lifetime of a musician, often in surprising and unpredictable ways. Most musicians combine various jobs or professions both to support their immediate lifestyle and to realize a fulfilling long-term career. It is usually multiple, simultaneous opportunities and revenue streams that make it possible to be a professional musician. This is not only important for financial reasons but it also contribuites to a musician’s life satisfaction. Most successful musicians construct their overall career paths out of some combination of opportunities which they find interesting. The possible performance opportunities alone are endless. At the same time, musicians do not have to make an exclusive choice between a performance-based and a nonperformance based music career. V The present-day musician cannot afford to have a merely vocational or otherwise narrow approach to building a career. Taking active responsibility for one’s education and career goals is a critical part of being successful as a music professional. Musicians inevitably create their own distinct niche and professional identity from a myriad of options such as those listed here. This index of music professions is not exhaustive but can be a useful point of reference for developing one’s unique path.
