You probably are graduated by now, but I'd advise in teaching music.

[@GP-ez8pt]

Make a business of teaching music, teach in Asian countries cos the market for that is big in Asian countries now, you could earn lots of money if ur a really good teacher, then INVEST ur money in a really good FUND. 🤗

Very well said, everything you say is true! (25 years in a full time symphony orchestra).

[@Greentea0083]

Wow! That's amazing!

[@raquelvasquez5152]

I’ve changed my major once already from nursing to music hoping that I can get into a symphony. The only way I believe I could get a better chance is trying to learn to play as many instruments as possible, which is one of my goals.

[@caleb318]

Hectic thanks for putting this video up 😉but I'm still going to try and get into a full time orchestra that pays well

You should learn to inform us in a way that won't drop our self esteem! You were laughing while saying that orchestra players barely make money like wtf.

[@LivingPianosVideos]

This is in no way meant to denigrate the work of orchestral musicians. I am in a family of musicians who face the challenges of making a living in a world where there is only a minuscule market for the plethora of highly skilled musicians for the diminishing positions available to make a living playing in orchestras. With current events, the situation is exacerbated!

[@ichoosemysanity6467]

@@LivingPianosVideos I am glad you kept it real.

[@xeon2773]

it's the reality sadly

[@mattmartian1658]

Thanks for this ..I was curious watching some Beethoven. So if so many musicians need jobs.. Sounds like we just need more orchestras and venues..and maybe things would change. Maybe get creative with the music being offered to draw mor3 people.

[@kroert2259]

Orchestras can only pay with what little money they obtain. Big orchestras that are able to pay a livable wage to their musicians have enormous support from, first and foremost, an audience as well as major endowments, funding, donations, etc. Creating more orchestras and venues will not solve this problem. There simply are not enough people interested in classical music anymore. It’s so saddening to see this happening. If people would just give classical music a chance, then they would realize how amazingly beautiful and fascinating it can be. I personally think that today’s modern “music”-can we even call it that?-that most of the younger generations are listening to-in particular, rap-has done great harm to the classical music industry. It’s drawing away an entire audience of people from classical music. This “music” that these people choose to listen to makes classical music seem boring in their eyes. I’m not so sure there is hope left in this fight. Orchestras are diminishing now more than ever, and without the support of a growing audience, orchestras, especially smaller ones, will cease to have an audience altogether.

Sounds like he’s trying to talk someone out of it than anything, no offense
