My Passion For Music And The Music Industry

Throughout my life, I have been taken by music. However, it was not until my 8th grade year in middle school that I realized that I could be a musician for the rest of my life. Before that, music just seemed like something to keep me out of trouble. I wasn’t the best player at that time, and I still knew very little about it all. How could something like that ever support someone? Still, it was the only talent that I could find any success in, and it was still very enjoyable, so I wanted to still give it a shot.

Ever since I was in my mother’s womb, music was a part of me. Music was a part of me because of my dad. He has been playing the guitar and singing even before him and my mom even met. I remember listening to stories on how when my mom was pregnant with me, he would play music and I would kick like crazy. Because of this, music was in my blood. I felt destined to play music. Turns out music became my passion. Listening to music and eventually playing it became my everything.

Music is a passion of mine and has been for a long time (it's in my blood.) My dad played the bass guitar in a few groups, and he sings in our church's choir. His taste of music has been passed down and adopted by my brother and me.

Music has been a part of my life for over half of it. I started piano when I was about 6, and did orchestra in 4th, 6th, and now 7th. I always enjoyed learning more about the instruments I played. But

Many of the “top notch” recording engineers do not have college degrees whatsoever. When people think engineer, most likely they are thinking that it requires an abundance of school. I sure did. Its surprising to find out that I can be a recording engineer today if I had the right connections. There is however, schools that offer programs specifically for people who aspire to become recording engineers. The best school would be LA Film in California. They offer an 18 month program that not only offers you a quality education but experience in Hollywood itself. There are many ways to build up your reputation to reach the high class recording engineer. The best would be an intern. You get the experience you need, and the connections that are crucial for this job. To be a recording engineer you must possess a few important skills. One being listening. If you are unable to following directions then this job is not for you. Two, you must be able to understand music and tone. A recording engineer is the person who places the mics and controls the soundboard while artists sing/play their hearts out. If you cannot tell that the string bass is wrongly hooked up or you used an incorrect microphone then you must stay away. A perfect candidate would have experience with music, and

My passion for music went into overdrive when I started my high school career at Highland Springs High school. I was a

What is the music industry? The music industry is everything that makes up the music we love. There are many different jobs in the music industry. Some of these jobs include: Songwriter, Manager, Marketing Executive, Music Publisher, and Publisher, however, these are only a small number of them. Each job has a purpose and each job is important in the music industry.

The music industry and music business have always favored profits whether it is to sell as much merchandise as humanly possible, to change a group or artists look to look a certain desirable way, or to churn out similar music styles that appeal to young teenagers in love. The music business is one that has always favored making as much profit as possible and predicting and gambling which songs would would hit the big time. Marketing is the department of business that has to produce products and appeal to target audiences. Marketing was a huge tool in Elvis’ career, Berry Gordy’s Motown singers, and selling crooner music that appealed to young women.

Degree required: To at least have the lowest level in an employment you have to acquire a college degree in photography or a similar field of work. You may take courses to get better at photography, or earn a degree in a similar field; it might help you get a better job.

The next kind of official step is to experience it first hand, by joining, say the tech crew of your school, as I have already done. Learn the ropes of the job form the senior students and teachers, and work your way up the ranks to helping out, and then actually working at events outside school. Once high school is over, the next thing to do is to get an actual official degree or certificate in a technical, or basically any college, in that area. I would try to get as high a degree as I can get that would entail a sound technician, maybe even a masters, if that’s possible. After getting the highest degree possible, I would need to look for an internship. Because of my (hopefully) high degree, I would have a broad range of choices to pick from. Personally, I would pick the internship to a company that’s well know, and does large/popular events and movies. The next step would be to get an actual job. I would aim for continuing to work at company that I had my internship with, since I have already established a relationship with them. The final step that I would take, to nail my professional career, would be to be certified from Recording Arts

Education in this field can vary depending on where you seek employment but in most areas an associate’s degree is enough to get your foot in the door with a bachelor’s degree ensuring almost full employment capabilities.

At a young age people are asked “ What do you want to be when you grow up?” many answer simply replying with president , doctor , or even a princess. Eventually the same kids grow up and start to think more seriously about careers and eventually the president's turn in to lawyers , the doctors become teachers, and the princesses actually become nurses . They take more things into consideration such as the salary , what the job actually does, the education required , and most importantly if they can see themselves working that occupation and enjoying the job. Being a music producer is not a career you hear about everyday , but many people want to pursue a career in music for many reasons , but there are also many amazing things that

Music has always been an interest of mine. The different genres of music of music, but how they are mixed throughout each other. A genre that caught my fancy growing up would be R&B/Soul. It was something about the nasal tone of Anita to the cries of Patti about how somebody is loved. The tones played over the radio as my mother cooked a soulfool dinner and danced around with me. Not just this genre though, it has went as far as rock, Nickelback to rapper Eminem.

Short courses are available for those wanting refresher or top-up training in specific areas and the Academy also offers a 1-day taster course. A degree is definitely not a pre-requisite to enter and succeed in the media make-up industry. In reality it is practical skills, ability, aptitude and attitude that are most sought after.

To be in any of these fields you must have an advanced education. In some cases you could be required to have experience
