What?
We are in very strange times, good for opportunity and
change but also for uncertainty about where the economy is going and jobs.
If you have a skill in this case music and if you are
looking to earn more than the first place to look is at what you can do with
it.
Also it is advisable to list all the other skills that you have
either soft or hard.
Why?
I believe that the
world of employment will change to be unrecognisable in the next few years
because of disruptive technologies and this will affect the middle class
professionals in ways that were not foreseeable a short while ago and we need
to be able to use the creative aspect of music because this will be an area
that will be required.
There is a lateral shift here but in a nut shell we need
people who can think the impossible because that is where technology will take
us and I am saying that because that is what it has already done so more of the
same really.
And the way to learn this lateral ability is through the arts
and music is the easiest way into this for the mind in my opinion and for the
purposes of this blog.
How?
Just start networking and maybe start teaching, song writing,
and playing small gigs in people’s houses, in restaurants at parties, clubs or
festivals. Do not wait until you are perfect there is no such thing just start and
develop. Get things on the YouTube, remember that your recorded music may not
make any money but it might get you work.
The set of videos are about getting started as a guitar
teacher, however the same applies to any teaching so have a listen if you want
to make some money and make a start.
