Today I come with a topic, which is once again controversial, and in my opinion is necessary to explain. It is also like a continuation of my previous article, although in this case I am going to talk specifically about music and I am going to clarify certain things about what many people say, that music is 5 minutes of fame and nothing more. That is something that still occurs today with many people who do not know this musical world. I am going to give you my arguments and reflections in this regard.
Hoy vengo con un tema, que nuevamente es controversial, y en mi opinión es necesario explicar. También es como una continuación de mi artículo anterior, aunque en este caso voy a hablar específicamente de la música y voy a aclarar ciertas cosas sobre lo que dice mucha gente, que la música son 5 minutos de fama y nada más. Eso es algo que todavía en la actualidad ocurre con muchas personas que no conocen este mundo musical. Yo voy a darles a ustedes mis argumentos y reflexiones al respecto.
We all know that music is a very beautiful art that can combine others, such as poetry, acting, dance, etc. Those of us who are part of it feel very in love due to its splendid and wonderful essence, we can also express our feelings and transmit them in the best way to others. All that is music, for that reason there are people who talk about music as a hobby, as something that is done for fun, something at once and then, then it comes back and goes again, that is, music is not something. that is taken seriously.
Todos sabemos que la música es un arte muy hermoso que puede combinar a otros, como la poesía, la actuación, la danza, etc. Los que formamos parte de ella nos sentimos muy enamorados debido a su esencia tan espléndida y maravillosa, también podemos expresar nuestros sentimientos y transmitirlos de la mejor manera a los demás. Todo eso es la música, por esa razón existen personas que hablan de la música como un hobby, como algo que se hace por diversión, algo de una vez y ya, luego vuelve y se va nuevamente, es decir, la música no es algo que se toma en serio.
Many times that may be true, but on other occasions it is not, and when the latter happens, they begin to comment that music is only 5 minutes of fame, that you cannot be successful with music, that the famous people who are there They do other things, that is, they have other university careers that support them financially. This type of comments are usually expressed by relatives when they discover that someone from the same, wants to be part of this world. How wrong they are!
Muchas veces eso puede ser verdad, pero en otras ocasiones no lo es, y cuando sucede lo segundo, empiezan a comentar que la música son solo 5 minutos de fama, que no se puede ser exitoso con la música, que los famosos que están ahí hacen otras cosas, o sea, tienen otras carreras universitarias que los sustentan económicamente. Este tipo de comentarios suelen expresarse por familiares cuando descubren que alguien de la misma, quiere formar parte de este mundo ¡Que equivocados están!
Economically, music was one of the highest paid jobs in the world, nowadays it is not just a job, it is a profession that generates a huge amount of money thanks to the fact that creativity and originality have very high prices if they call a lot the attention. It is said that music does not have a stable salary, that it depends on the work that is done, there are no breaks, no vacations, or retirement, if good music is not made every day that it becomes popular and listened to by all, the economy suffers horribly, since, each piece or song or musical work, has to have an investment to be able to sell, and to see the desired results.
Económicamente, la música fue uno de los oficios mejor pagados en el mundo, hoy en día no es solo un oficio, es una profesión que genera una enorme cantidad de dinero gracias a que la creatividad y la originalidad tienen precios muy elevados si llaman mucho la atención. Se comenta que la música no tiene un sueldo estable, que depende del trabajo que se haga, no hay descansos, ni vacaciones, ni jubilación, si no se hace buena música todos los días que se vuelva popular y escuchada por todos, la economía sufre horriblemente, ya que, cada pieza o canción u obra musical, tiene que tener una inversión para poder venderse, y ver los resultados deseados.
That argument is not so wrong; However, I have several things to object to. Music is not a compulsory job, it is voluntary like the others, if you don't work there is no pay, like all jobs. It requires quality control, if you make poor quality music you don't earn money, that good music is made and good profits are generated. Although quality control in music is not structured, if others like it, it is considered good quality, if not, it is poor quality. Those who work in this world are always part of an eternal competition among themselves, where if the work is done well, more is earned, if it is not done well, it is not achieved, although it is healthy competition. Isn't that similar to jobs? Where is an employee of the month named and others have to work hard to get that place? I think yes.
Ese argumento no está tan equivocado; Sin embargo, tengo varias cosas que objetar. La música no es un trabajo obligatorio, es voluntario como los demás, si no se trabaja no hay paga, como todo empleo. Exige un control de calidad, si se hace música de mala calidad no se gana dinero, a que se realice buena música y se generen buenas ganancias. Aunque el control de calidad en la música no es estructurado, si a los demás les gusta, se considera de buena calidad, si no, es mala calidad. Los que trabajan en este mundo siempre forman parte de una competencia eterna entre ellos mismos, dónde sí se hace bien el trabajo se gana más, si no se elabora bien no se logra, aunque es una competencia sana ¿Eso no es parecido a los empleos dónde se nombra a un empleado del mes y los demás se tienen que esforzar para conseguir ese lugar? A mí me parece que sí.
We have to understand that no work is free, I only know and know a work that is free and yet generates money, only in different ways, I speak of charity. But the others need an investment, a good job and that generates monetary gains. Anyone who does not agree with me, let me know in the comments, I am willing to listen to your opinions and answer them, if you want to tell me an anecdote on this subject, I would like to meet them and share mine with you.
Tenemos que entender que ninguna labor es gratuita, solo sé y conozco una labor que es gratuita y sin embargo genera dinero, solo que de maneras distintas, hablo de la caridad. Pero las demás necesitan de una inversión, un buen trabajo y eso genera ganancias monetarias. Quien no esté de acuerdo conmigo que me lo haga saber en los comentarios, yo estoy dispuesto a escuchar sus opiniones y contestarlas, si me quieren contar una anécdota sobre este tema, me agradaría conocerlas y compartirles las mías.
Finally, I would like to tell you that, the fact that making music gives us life, makes us fall in love, amuses us and is our "ART OF EXPRESSION", does not mean that we cannot profit or earn money with it, because we also It is our “LABOR PROFESSION”, it may be that the results are slow and that they do not have a stability like any normal job with a salary, but if you have the materials and do a great job, and take it seriously, it can be the best and easiest way to earn money.
Para finalizar, quisiera decirles que, el hecho de que a nosotros, el hacer musica nos de vida, nos enamore, nos divierta y sea nuestro “ARTE DE EXPRESION”, no quiere decir que no podamos lucrarnos o ganar dinero con ella, porque también es nuestra “PROFESION LABORAL”, puede ser que los resultados sean lentos y que no tengan una estabilidad como cualquier empleo normal con un sueldo, pero si se tienen los materiales y se hace un gran trabajo, y se toma en serio, puede ser la mejor y más fácil manera de ganar dinero.

Hey @jangue2054
I saw your previous post about fame, had it in my mind to comment there, and voila, I just see a new article from you? Cool!
As this post covers our specific topic, being a musician, and the challenges that this profession brings, I will write here ;) However, I can mostly speak just about classical music and being a musician in that sector ;)
You fully touched on the topic of the economic side of this profession and that it was considered as one of the best-paid jobs. I can somehow agree as if we look back in history. When classical musicians were paid by patrons, they certainly didn’t lack much in life. We can see most of that in the time of classicism, they composed for the upper class and were gladly seen in the courts. In the time of romanticism, things changed a little, but still, composers, the successful ones, were well paid. Later, the tendency of performing developed, ie playing not only their own compositions but also pieces composed by other authors. Of course, those who made the best breakthrough were paid nicely, but many went unnoticed. It is the same today, with a small difference, that today we have countless musicians on this planet of ours who have gone unnoticed. Realistically, it’s not easy to be in the classical music elite, it takes a lot of things to match, and once you’ve pushed through, it doesn’t mean you’ll stay there forever if you’re not persistent and hardworking, and innovative, and many things more haha.
I got sometimes the question, do I have another job, or what is my real profession that makes my living. Well, I don't have another one, I teach piano and performed (well, indeed past tense right now if we don't count like two performances for the last year and a half) mostly classical music. It can be a great way to make sufficient means for a decent life -if the normal is not the new normal 😅- doing something that we really love to do, as you say this is our art of expression.
How good you are writing these personal reflection posts 👌 I hope that you will have many interactions and make some new connections here and all around the platform!
Btw, what is now the situation in your country? Are you allowed to have some concerts, can you have some gigs?
Thank you very much for sharing that anecdote and making those comments that motivate me to keep doing this. I also had an anecdote when I realized that my passion and my profession was music, my mother did not agree very much because she thought the same, that music is 5 minutes of fame and that's it, then I started looking for schools and academies that would grant me a title and when I got it, I showed it to her and it was the right argument for her to give me her support and I still have it. Answering your questions, in my country there are concerts and musical presentations, but they are more frequent for your specialty, which is classical music, in my style and genre of music it is more difficult to get presentations or someone to make an investment in your work, I I also teach, but with the pandemic I lost my clientele and it has cost me a lot to get it again because the situation in my country does not lend itself to people being interested in learning music, they are more inclined to other things that are more necessary, but really Thank you very much again for sharing your opinion with me, I hope you like my next article the same or more.
I am happy you were strong to fight for your musical education and went with your flow! Good you did it.
Teaching and pandemic. I can hear you... lost some of my private students during the lockdown, those that didn't want to learn online. But, fortunately, many agreed to online lessons from the school where I give lessons, so we continued. We are teaching now in person again.
I understand, learning to play an instrument is maybe not essential for many and even more for people that can not afford a musical education.
But, you see, many ways we can find and discover, the digital era can give a lot of advantages too ;) You found hive for example :)
Btw, how do you like the posts in this community? It is good to meet new people and get to interact with them. I can just encourage you to explore a bit, greet people here around! Many that speak Spanish too, but I see English is not a problem for you, you can always translate ;)
Yo prefiero hablar en inglés, pero puedo responder en castellano también :)
Si es un poco complicado traducir para mí, pero hice el sacrificio porque no sabía si hablas bien el español o el inglés.
Ya he explorado la comunidad y me encanta, todavía no me he topado con alguien en español, además de tí, pero estoy pendiente.
Bueno, castellano no es mi primera lengua, pero voy así como ves y lees :)
Hay muchos que hablan en español, si vemos toda la plataforma y también aquí en este pequeño rincón que han publicado ultimamente: ricardomello, ssamihc, iefersoto, bertrayo, soyjudith, maria1728, luisenriquecp, chentebass, nataliaeline, latinllanes, y solo tres que no hablan español ;))
Te digo de mi experiencia, que la interacción es lo más interesante y lleva muchísima importantancia en hive. Veo que hemos creado la cuenta los dos más o menos hace un año... No creo que haya pasado un solo día sin que yo al menos me pase por aquí a curar o comentar. No esperes que los demás vengan a tus publicaciones, es dificil... Yo sí que te comento, porque hemos visto calidad y quiero que prosperes. Aunque escribes bien, y es justo lo que se respeta lo más, la reflección personal, intenta también variar de tipo de publicaciones a veces, o cambiar el tipo de la fotografía de la portada. Y espero aceptes mis comentarios como consejos amistosos ;) No son quejas ;)
