Music Industry Careers
There are many
different music industry careers, and even
more paths to careers in the music
industry. Tomorrow's music industry
pioneers can come from any background.
Some of them start
out as acoustic engineers with a solid
academic background. Others start as
bouncers in clubs or performers
themselves.
Still others use
their charm and charisma as booking
agents, promoters, or producers and learn
how to promote a music career. Basically,
jobs in entertainment are always a
combination of luck and skill. Being in
the right place at the right time and
having the right talents to go with it is
key.
Getting Help For
Music Lovers
That doesn't mean
that there aren't programs that will help
you with your music industry career. If
you get a solid academic education, it
will definitely make you more marketable
– particularly if you want to be a
recording industry technician. Nowadays,
fewer and fewer recording engineers are
self-taught, and more and more of them
come out of college training programs.
It is just the way
things go. The technology is so
complicated and the training is so
specialized that you can't really get
involved without having the
background.
Music Industry
Careers
Then again, there
are a lot of outsider music industry
careers that don't start with formal
training. Home computing has gotten so
powerful that it is easy for basically
anyone with a good ear, a few thousand
dollars, and some basic knowledge to start
their own recording studio.
If you have the
connections to get good bands record with
you and the instinct of a good record
producer, you can start your own
successful label. It is a long shot, but
it does happen.
Just becoming known
as the person who recorded the first song
of a band who became successful with
another label is often enough to get you
in the door. The pay is lousy when you
work for yourself, and the hours are
irregular, but the potential payoffs are
great.
Of course, if you
have the right musical connections, you
can spin that into a career. Some of the
most impressive music industry careers are
based off of nothing but animal charisma.
Be Prepared To
Work In Your Music Career
Being the guy that
makes it happen means never sleeping,
always knowing where the party is, knowing
what is hot and what is on the way out,
and being able to talk to people. If this
describes you, you shouldn't delay.
Approach some bands,
get involved with promotions and
merchandising, and see where it takes you.
You never know until you try. The sky is
the limit. Now, enjoy the rest of these
articles about music.
Music On The
Internet
When you hear
pundits discussing Internet music, they
mostly play up the negative aspects of it.
They always talk about the fact that music
on the Internet has driven down record
sales around the world, and that the music
industry is on the verge of collapse.
Although they do overstate the case, they
do make a point. Music on the Internet
really is changing the face of the music
industry. The changes, however, are more
positive than they would have you
believe.
Not All Online
Music Is Free
First of all, you
have to realize that not all music on the
Internet is free music downloads traded by
pirates. Quite a bit of Internet music is
actually legally downloaded and shared.
One of the great things about online music
is that it allows smaller independent
bands to really court fans in a way they
couldn't before.
They can put their
music on websites, bit torrent search
clients, or any other places they want.
That way, fans can listen to them and
decide if they liked them. As small bands
make more money from shows than from
records, this is a godsend to local
independent music groups and their
fans.
And then of course,
there's Internet radio. Listening to the
radio online is a great experience. For
most fans of music, there will be at most
one or two stations they like around town.
With Internet radio however, you can
listen to basically anything you like. You
can find bluegrass music on the Internet,
rock country, tango, polka – you name
it you've got it. And this Internet radio
isn't just a boon to the consumers, it's a
boon to the artists as well.
Online Internet
Radio
You see, online
Internet radio exposes fans to bands they
never have had a chance to hear before.
You might check out an Internet music
station because they play a particular
band you like, only to hear three other
songs from three other bands that are as
good or better in your opinion. Obscure
bands are on equal footing with more
mainstream corporate ones.
Clear Channel and
the other big media giants don't control
music on the Internet – the consumer
does. You listen to what you want when you
want. If you like it, you can go see shows
or play the pod casts for your friends.
Just like this piece, the complete website
is geared toward fun and interesting music
articles for you to enjoy. Have a musical
day!
