Music Career Longevity


Many people make the mistake of stopping their search for music work once their students or gigs reach their peak. Even if you have enough income coming in, it can’t hurt to continue trying to expand your music work for the future. The business side of music never stops and growth is essential.

Think of your music career as a flower.  Even if your flower is in full bloom you must continue to water it every day.  No matter how beautiful the flower currently may be if you don’t water it consistently it will wither away and die.

You must apply the same approach to your music business.  Work to nurture your relationships and expand your music business reach and connections on a daily basis.

   Having longevity as a full-time musician can be difficult.  This is true if you’re a teacher, performer, or any other music professional. If you know what you’re up against and plan accordingly, you can succeed. Many other people have – why not be the next?
