Life As A Musician

By Lori Buenavista


As a parent, you desire to provide as much opportunities and learning encounters for your youngster as possible. If you've enrolled your child in music training, or are thinking of doing so, you've made a very good decision. Understanding how to play a musical instrument will enrich your child's life in lots of ways: she'll be exposed to wonderful music, gain self-esteem, learn discipline and organization skills and perhaps even increase math skills, reading comprehension and artistic talents.

If you enroll your son in Little League, you most likely don't anticipate him to play for the New York Yankees as an adult. Though you've registered him in music lessons, you probably don't expect him to perform for the Boston Symphony, either. Having said that, if your child continues with lessons so that he can play well, he'll be a musician, which will contribute to his identity throughout his life. Let's look at the ways that your child could be a musician and what that might necessarily mean.

As a musician who performs for himself, and those closest to him, he will play his instrument as a way to bring himself delight. He will play during periods of emotional tension or trouble, and his music can help him work out his difficulties. He will play for his wife or husband or better half, and his music will help him bond closer to that individual. He may seek out another musician as a groom; a person who comprehends the power of music in one's personal life. He will play music for his kids, and help them learn the importance of surrounding themselves with the beauty of music in their lives.

As a music performer who teaches others, your child may select a teaching career in music; either as a full-time teacher, or as a home-based business along with another job. She might train music to kids in a school setting, where she'll help and encourage the next generation of musicians. She might put in lessons in her home. As a part-time business, teaching music lessons offers her flexible working hours, the capability to select her clients and a reasonable hourly salary. She might coach music at a college or university, where she will present her musical experience and knowledge, and build a thriving, gratifying vocation, encompassed by other people who are learning and teaching music throughout their lifetimes. She might teach her own children to play. Any time she spends at this task will bring her closer to them, and enrich their lives.

As a professional musician who plays for others, your son or daughter might go on to a professional career, actively playing music. He will inspire people of every age group, who will pay attention to his tracks, learn from it, unwind to it and enjoy it. He will cherish a profession that allows him to meet lots of people from a number of backgrounds, and perhaps travel the planet. He won't ever stop learning as a qualified musician, which means that his life will often be filled with new problems, fresh experiences and new learning experiences.
