Re: How do you make money as a music composer?
Hello Grant,
As you plan your future, perhaps with music composing as a goal, consider how composing music might an important part of your career but not the entirety of your career. For example, David, who wisely answered your question, has developed a career in musical theater. Or, maybe you enjoy teaching music, and use composing as part of your music teaching career, such as to create piano pieces for your students. The chances for a musician to make a living just writing music are a good bit less than the chances of an pianist to making a living performing the piano-- and there are very few of those such pianists. If you enjoy writing music, then enjoy writing music. You can do that regardless of what your career is. And many excellent composers have done that. Cheers -- Mark |
