Aspects of music as career

Thank you for your response and love for my blog. I am obliged.
Let's quickly have glance at how music can serve as career for singer.
Singer's career which seems to most eye pleasing career because now days `singer enjoys alot of lime light '.  But every job has own pains and pleasures, singers now a days constantly have to stay updated, learning  new instruments is part of their art, recording in studio, practicing daily, a total sum of constant efforts, results into lime light.
`The most difficult step in league to succeed is to initiate '
So to initiate, looking  at present life style scenario clubs are social gathering hype so for learning stage singer can perform for various clubs and cafes and small private parties. To be an ace in your field, you need to work which ultimately helps you to earn.
Moving towards Indian context, Indian Classical Music is a huge ocean, you needs to dive into it, to fetch pearls out.  Learning is interesting process because it serves you with over all development, better opportunities and good networking. Quantity doesn't matters, Quality matters, more than anything else ability matters.
A must needed knowledge  for singer is  different genres of music, basics of chords and jargons as SINGLES, EPs, LPs…
Another career option, which is highly neglected is Song writing. No it's not about lyricist, song writing is wider term than lyricist.
Along with various songs, they perform well, let people know about the Song. This helps Artists to be known for his/her own skills.

Nowadays the Trend is, let social media work for your identity that's like Record your Song, Upload it to Social Media. But then it's an incomplete task,  One should take opinions from different people as Teachers, Mentors, Colleagues who are already doing good in the industry. One who can show mirror reflection of your performance. This exercise is important yet completely missing.
If you want to succeed let criticism be leading stone to path of your improvement.  Hope for best but be prepared for worst. Stay updated keep changing your self for better performances is must.
