Question 2

What are some skills I need to have for a certain music job that I want?

Sources:

Essay:

The skills that are needed for a certain career or job is like music reading, talented on instruments, and most importing is math. Math has a big deal in music why because, the notes you reading playing your instrument is dealing mostly on adding, subtracting, and dividing. Everyone has skills. In fact, everyone has all kinds of skills and each one can be related in some way to one or more then one people. Without ever having had a job, without ever having been trained for a job, you are qualified to perform literally hundreds of types of jobs. "The repair tech helps ensure a musician's success from practice session to stage. Because music instruments are precision equipment, the smallest bump or ding often renders an instrument unplayable or worse: unreliable. This makes the repair technician invaluable to every musician, student to pro. A good technician supports music and music education through his/her skills and advice. It is a craft where subtlety, touch and a keen eye are prime tools of the trade. Those best at repairing band instruments consider themselves students; they never stop learning". This is the main idea of one job that is choosing in my last post on question one about being a repair man on music. It talks about how good it is to do this job and opportunists that is there to do of the career like this and everyday is a new problem.

Essay:

What types of job of music that good for me would probably be musical instrument repairers. The instrument repairers dose tuning, fix loose string on any guitars, and even replace any broken parts of the instruments. In the book "career discover encyclopedia" on page 134 it says "musical instrument repairs tune instruments and make other repairs as needed. Most repairers specialize in fixing one type of instrument. Many repairers make regular inspections on pianos, organs, or other, instruments to keep them from getting out of tune or developing other problems". So the main idea of that quote is the musical instrument repairers career fixes a lot of any instruments that's broken and out of tune. There many other types of music career to do like music agent, music scouts, music conductor or even a music journalist. There more to that, if you look in the book "career discover encyclopedia" look thought pages 132 to 154 it tell you most music jobs and career. In the music business, "programs in music business and management prepare people to organize and manage musicians, music organizations, and music facilities. Students learn to coordinate and promote music performances and other music operations. They study legal issues related to music and the principles of business, marketing, and management".{https://sccis.intocareers.org/info2.aspx?FileID=Prog&FileNum=130600&TopicNum=0}. To paraphrase that is saying that in the business music  people would learn some ways of organize and manage music careers and study the facts getting the music to public.
