1 By: Connor Ferry

2  Simple addition and subtraction are used when writing and performing music. The math really manifests itself in time signatures (stuff like 4/4, 3/4 and 8/12)  A normal situation requiring math would be something like, there have been two beats so far and you are in 3/4, how many beats are left in the measure? 3-2=1

3  A high school education is the norm, but many musicians go to college or start working the music industry from a young age.  There are things a musician needs to know that aren’t necessarily attainable through traditional education.

4  Yearly salaries for musicians vary.  The average in 2010 was $22.39 per hour, but the average in 2080 was roughly $28 per hour.  The amount of money earned depends on different factors like location, what the musician plays (both instrument and genre) and what the musician does. If he/she are on retainer with a studio or if he/she tours.  There are also many areas of advancement, most producers were once musicians, too.  A second job is probably needed.

5  There will be music where ever you chose to live.  But it may not be the type that you like to play or you may have to work harder to get paid in certain areas.  Most musicians will move to a town or city with a record studio.

6  Being a musician isn’t really the same as being an IT guy or a teacher.  You have a responsibility to play your best for an audience and you should show up to places you are booked, but it’s also dependent on what look you’re going for. ◦ Rockers might not want to show up to look bad.

7  Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2012-13 Edition, Musicians and Singers, on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/ooh/entertainment- and-sports/musicians-and-singers.htm (visited May 04, 2012).http://www.bls.gov/ooh/entertainment- and-sports/musicians-and-singers.htm  Career Information Center. London: Thomas and Gale, 2007. Print. ◦ I used this source because print focuses on different things than electric. It gave me useful information on career advancement as a musician.
