Music Introduction
Music is one of the most profound
human achievements. It is a
universal sound which can create
emotions and express feelings. Music
also soothes the mind. There is rarely
anybody who is not touched by music in
some way at some time in their lives.
Talent, genuine interest, sincerity
and willingness to work hard can
guarantee a big success in the field
of music. Having an inborn talent to
sing is a wonderful gift. But making a
career out of this talent, demands
regular devoted practice. Joining an
institution and getting trained is one
of the first steps towards making a
career in Music but the main emphasis
should be real dedication and
commitment.
A person considering a career in
music should have a genuine love for
music, a musical sense, which means a
sense of time and rhythm, besides
versatility, creative ability and also
stage confidence. At the same
time one needs to have publicity-
contacts with the right people, money
for training and for making demo
cassettes for commercialization.
Just as there is a wide variety of
forms in music like classical, folk,
jazz, pop, fusion etc there are also a
variety of opportunities in this
field. Besides becoming a performer
(vocal or instrumental) or a teacher,
one can be a composer/song writer,
music publisher, music journalist,
Disc Jockeys/ Video Jockeys, Music
Therapist, Artist manager/PR and so on
in the Music Industry. Today the
advent of satellite television, the
growing popularity of the music
channels and corporate sponsorship of
musical events, has all made music big
business. Although fame and money in
this field depends a lot on luck and
getting a good break, but once you are
established there is ample scope for
making good money in this field.
