Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
As a musician, you’ll use your creative skills to compose, conduct, play instruments and sing. You’ll love performing to a live audience or being in a recording studio. Learn more about a career in music, find out what it involves and what you’ll need to study and do to get a role.
Whatever your genre of music, it’s important to get as much experience as possible performing in public.
You could join a local choir, youth or community choir orchestra, enter competitions, offer to perform at local events or festivals, attend auditions or explore busking opportunities.
You could also showcase your music on social media channels and send demos to recording companies. There may also be grant and funding opportunities. This will need a bit of research, but websites like Help Musicians are a good place to start.
As you become better known, you’ll find it easier to get more regular work. Many classical musicians progress in an orchestra, reaching principle player or section leader. Other classical musicians move into conducting.
Some experienced musicians opt to move into the business side of the industry as a writer, producer or manager.
A professional organisation you might want to join includes the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM).
