Musicians can be found working in studios, playing before live audiences, working as freelance artists, or as salaried musicians for orchestras, choirs, theatres, or musical bands. Many musicians also teach music to students, either in schools, colleges, or universities, or one-on-one out of their home or a music store. Teaching often supplements a musician’s income as a performer. A musician is an entertainer. They perform for crowds or audiences by playing instruments or singing. They start by playing in night clubs, weddings, events, or concerts. However, most aspire to secure an agent to represent them or to land a recording contract. Musicians often master a variety of styles of music or several instruments to become more marketable and flexible.
