become a musician

During the summer holidays, I decided to do something like a one-day-test of a job I’d like to have later on. The first “One day as …” was connected to the job of a musician/singer. I must say I never had so much fun in my life; I felt motivated and like I could do anything I want … I sang, I played the guitar like a maniac, I wrote some lyrics, as well as one song (I’ll maybe have to change its title, though … But it sounds cool! XD).

Ever since, I tried to play as often as I could, and same goes for singing, of course. I have no bigger wish than making this goal reality, because I simply feel it is the right thing to do. I don’t care what other people say about this, though (or, I will not care if they are being completely destructive).

I also wrote two more songs, one of them being a song I am really proud of.

I have been worried that I didn’t do what my heart told me, but if I didn’t do THIS, I would definitely not listen to my heart.
I have been worried that I wasn’t talented enough, but instead of worrying about this, the only thing I can do is practice as much as I can.
And as for the character traits you need to become a musician … Screw them! At first, have fun with what you are doing, and, as said above, listen to your heart. And don’t sit around wishing to do something, but DO something. Even if you aren’t a band (I currently am in no band, either), there are ways of getting started with writing your own stuff.

I think that writing songs is the best thing to do when you go “solo” : You can prepare stuff that you could play in a band, and if not, you can still record your own solo album. Just don’t be scared to show yourself :). (Maybe that’s one thing I should tell myself COUNTLESS times, too …)

I cannot wait to grab the guitar again and start playing. :D

I’ve never had lessons, I go on youtube and learn music from the charts. I can’t read music either. My guitar skills aren’t very good, but I’m going to start lessons next year. My keyboard/piano skills are coming along well though, and for saying I’ve only had a keyboard for two months I can play songs from Kate Nash and Sara Bareilles :)

I’m working on a song written and composed by myself at the moment. It’s not coming along to well, but I am a beginner so I have plenty of time yet :)

I would love to become a musician! The only downers on that are I can play guitar and keyboard averagely. And I can’t practise as much because of SO much coursework next year ‘cause I’ve got such a load.

Oh well :/ I will try my best!

i truly honestly with all my heart want to become a musician. i dont care what i do but i want it to involve music.
adulthood is looming closer than ever and i have to make decisions. i don’t want to have to wake up everyday dreading the familiar trip to the same desk running the similar routines of the day before.
i want to do something i love. i’ve already vetoed professional snowboarding, because i doubt that it’s even considered a profession.
i want to become a musician.

ok so i am already a musician by definition but i want to get paid for doing it.

I read the description of the character traits that you have to have if you want to be a singer (I guess the same applies for instrumentalists). I was really disappointed of myself, because I feel like I am not the kind of person they’re searching for.

I am not very self-confident (even though it’s slowly getting better), I am organised, but not very self-disciplined, and my doctor said stress is poison for my soul.

However, I won’t give up and try to work on my attitude and on my discipline. I guess it is something you can learn by just practising a lot, isn’t it?

I also was thinking about going to an agency for artists, but the next one is in Cologne, I think (about 50 kilometers from here). I just don’t know what to bring along with me – something like an application? I have done several things, but I doubt anyone would care about that … Mmh.

- become a singer.
- Play some instrument.
- Listen to greats.
- Do something that makes my soul happy!!

well yeah its my passion

..sure I might be considered a musician. But I’m not satisfied enough. I love music, whether it’d be listening it or playing it. I want to make music for a living, but you know. I don’t know if it would happen. I’m hoping for it though.

I think the main thing about being a musician is having talent and having stage presence.

i practically consider myself a musician now… =)
