Music – a career

Is music capable of giving you a career? If not, then why is it that a lot of people are into learning music. What has changed – Music or, music-lovers.’, ‘

I still remember the days when I used to ride my bicycle with my guitar at my back. I felt so proud when somebody asked me if I was learning guitar. There were very few people who would opt for music classes as parents were more keen on ensuring that their children are good academically. Music had no priority because there was no career out of music. I learnt guitar for some time, then went on to become the lead guitarist in my college band and that was it. After college when I got to know that music could not give me a career, I had to turn to my academics.

Today, music is a career. Schools and colleges have compulsory subjects on music. Music is no not just confined to the college bands or, Orchestras but has now taken an altogether different shape. With the reincarnation of the radio and the onset of the discotheques and pubs culture, the demand for music and musicians have increased. This in turn has give a career-oriented shape to music. When my friend narrated the off-site party that was arranged by his office and how a san diego dj was performing, I wondered at how music has changed. Music is now mobile and more than anything else, music is now a career.
