Music As A Career For Your Child



Why Music?


Music is thought to boost one's mood and personalise them. Depending on the category, language, and music, it affects our emotions and thoughts. A musician's mentality is always creative and innovative because he understands life's ultimate goals and truths. When you think of a career in music for your child, you often worry about the hurdles and issues a person faces to pursue it. At Prism School of Music, music is taught in a fun manner which makes it easy to learn. Being a full-time musician necessitates a high level of active motivation, hence the term "full-time." People generally associate music with a hobby or part-time gigs and do not really consider it a career because of the amount of hard work and motivation it requires. It costs money, commitment and time to plant the seed of a musical child into the fertile soil that will lead to them becoming successful professional musicians years down the line. BUT, if your child passes all these hurdles and is motivated enough, a career in music is the best for them and Prism School of Music will make sure to guide your child and show them the right path!


Careers in Music

When considering a career in music for your child, you may choose to start with the main performers. When you lift the curtain, though, you'll see people working in a variety of music-related vocations and careers who make performances possible. We have people who coordinate and market the music, people who work in recording studios and on the soundboard to make the musical performance sound great, composers and arrangers, and so on.

A career in music can encompass one or more disciplines in addition to performance. The child will have more options to work in the music industry if they are versatile. Prism School of Music offers a variety of courses which can help the child to choose the right option for them. Below are some options listed:

  1. Performer/Musician: The most thought of opportunity, when someone thinks of a career in music. The major responsibility of musicians is to perform or sing in front of live audiences or in recording studios. Styles might differ (for instance, rap, hip hop, rock, jazz, classical, country, folk, etc.). Musicians frequently begin their careers by performing at clubs, weddings, and other music venues to establish a reputation.

  2. Music Producer: A music producer is well-versed in both the creative and business aspects of the industry, and he or she cultivates ties with both musicians and record labels. A producer should foster an environment that allows artists to express themselves and create.

  3. Music Teacher: Teaching can take many different forms. The child could work as a private instructor or teach at a school or a music store. They could instruct on theory or a particular instrument. They'll also have the option of teaching several age groups, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

  4. Composer: Composers aren't limited to classical music; they can also write for movies, television, and video games. They can also compose and arrange music for recorded or live performances in a variety of genres. Regardless of which path your child chooses, they must have a thorough understanding of music theory, be able to play one or more instruments, and possess the technical skills necessary to effectively capture their works, whether through music notation or recording.


Choosing a Career Based on the child's personality


All the options have been listed. Now what? How should a person decide that a certain career matches their personality? Despite the obvious necessity of choosing a career, little is known about the impact of personality on career choices. The relationship between sensation seeking, an allegedly innate personality attribute, and job choice in music was studied by a lot of people to analyse whether a person should choose their career in music. Musicians are primarily artistic people, which means they are innovative and creative, and they thrive in environments that allow them to express themselves. They are also usually adventurous, which implies they are natural leaders who excel at persuading and influencing others.


At Prism School of Music, we mould children in a very good manner from an early stage. Starting early can help your child a lot in this field of music and joining our classes can change that significantly.

If your child is into adventure, creativity and originality, music is the dream choice for them and Prism School of Music is here to turn those dreams into reality!
