    are you able to write more difficult music?

    • @paulegavin
      @paulegavin 4 дня назад

      Able, yes - but my clients generally don't pay me to write complicated parts. I get paid 1. To deliver funky parts that sound good. 2. Deliver parts that can be learned quickly. 3. Deliver parts that are educationally sound and challenging for the kids who will get them. If this were for a competitive corps style client, I'd write harder stuff, but this client doesn't need quintuple paraddile flamsicles with a side of egg beaters. They just need the funk, so I deliver the funk. Good question!

      I agree with your friend in principle. Music doesn't have to be your job. Before music was ever a profession it was folk art and culture. Expression for the sake of expression without need for making money. This view of music is part of virtually every culture around the world. But if you're getting a degree in music - that's a totally different sory.

    This was a very nice video to watch as a music major, I appreciate it a lot. Unfortunately, these days this sentiment rings true for many other majors too. In meeting people on campus, I have asked people what they plan to do with their Public Policy or Business Administration majors, and I get the same anxious looks that I probably give when I get asked the same thing. The job market is looking tough, but as a music major at least I know I can enjoy my work even if I struggle to get by.

And I come home from work in a good mood almost every single day of the year. I’ve got a video coming up about my own regrets from music college. I’ll go ahead and share them with you here. 1. Learn piano. 2. Learn to write music. 3. Read Profit First by Mike Michalowicz, and do what he says.

    • @paulegavin
      @paulegavin 5 месяцев назад

      Hello Anjali, I don't think your question is lame. Apartments definitely pose a challenge for acoustic musicians. Have you tried just talking to your neighbors and just seeing what a typical schedule is for them? If they're decent people they'd probably be willing to give you an idea of the hours that are ok with them, or when they'll be gone. Also consider the room in your place that is farthest away from adjacent neighbor's rooms. There are also plenty of expensive solutions a google search away, but these are free and may work for you quite easily. Good luck :)

    Finding a good music college is tough. My daughter went to this one (she's a percussionist). They just didn't get it as to what it means to be a percussionist. When I got done hearing the stories she finally dropped out I won't say the college name (it was private) the way they treated their music students was surprisingly SOOO BADDDDD! They actually demotivated the students and they couldn't seem to teach Music Theory where half the class was faling. I finally said to my daughter, you came from one of the best high schools in the state, and I don't remember the music program being run like this. The stories get worse and worse and can't put it all in here. So thousands of dollars got wasted. Just saying, if you start a music program, be aware that the teachers are supposed to be supportive. If you find problems from the beginning, head the warning. Especially if on a scholarship. I finally told her, I think they're purposely trying to trash the scholarships because the program "needs" more money. Thus, the terrible treatment of the students.

      At the time that I made this video I was a couple years out of college and making enough to share an apartment with 3 great friends from college and save quite a bit. I could have afforded my own apartment but it wouldn't have been as nice a place or as fun. Over 5 years later, I've been joyfully married since early 2019, and I have a wonderful 9 month daughter. My wife and I both work, but the larger portion of our income comes from my work in music. We live in a nice apartment in Tampa, drive decent 2015 cars, and get to do things we enjoy and have never missed a bill. I'd say we're regular middle class people. If you're looking for a number, I'm not looking to give a number like that on the internet to a total stranger. But If you're looking to see if I'm poor and destitute, or barely making ends meet I think that should answer the question.

    I'm 40 and recently went back to my original career choice which is music. I am freelancing for 2 years now already. I was a software engineer for 14 years before I made the decision to come back to music. I think I was lucky enough to slide back into music as I built a client base of students and teaching contracts at churches and schools. If something is for you and you do what you love and passionate about it the money just comes at you. Edit: Don't listen to what others have to say.
