My future job
Well, It's very difficult for me talking about my "working future", because I don't know if I really would have a job as composer...I would say that no composer lives from the composition. You should find other possibilities "to finance" the composition's projects. For example, you can conduct a orchestra, working at school or at the university as teacher, if you play some instruments you can teaching too, or get a place in a orchestra or music group... I find that a little comical, because even though studying composition (a looooong major) you should study other things related with music, if you want to do something with music...
The biggest concern for my parents about that, is if I could get a stable job. Well, that is very difficult to explain because when I decided studying composition, I didn't think in the working field, but I thought in what I wanted do in my life. I think when you do something only because you want to do that (without thinking in the future), the chances came alone. In my case it's so. I do the things only because I want do that, and I have had lucky maybe, because now I have gotten a job as teacher not because I looked for that, but for what I did and accomplished as musician.
In this moment I'm not sure what I would do in the future, but I would like do two things: teaching composition (or another subject) at the university, and conducting a orchestra. First, I would like to study a master in another country (master in composition), because when you have a master (or better a doctorate) is more easy to get a job in a university. And after that, maybe studying orchestra conducting...
Well, I don't have clear my future... xD

We can see that!...but is curious that you study for study another thing...and at end of that, you can do something related with your first studies...oh god!
ReplyDeleteI also think that at the end is about working hard and having hope. There's not really much to do. If good luck really does exist I supossed we need it for music too but I prefer the working.
