What are the jobs of the music industry?

Answer 1

They play music for people.
Usually 2 musicians (or one drummer) every 4 hours, do not mix with alcohol or filmmakers. Children under the age of 12 should not dose any musicians, and always consult your doctor before taking musician.

Answer 2

Their record company pays them for sales of their music, although the royalties they receive from this actually tend to be a bit lacking. They usually make more money from touring than they actually do from album sales.

Further, with the advent of the internet, this latter is certainly moreso today than some decades ago, as Internet music downloads cause potential sales losses.

They also make money via music publication rights, and today, this is also generally more than they make from records or album sales.

There is one other way that many of the better acts make their initial moneys that carry them over until they actually make touring moneys and record sales royalties and that is that, usually, both record companies and publishers that want exclusive rights have to offer new artists contract moneys for those exclusive rights.

However, although the outright offer may seem quite large compared with the salary rates of the average person, most of the money is absorbed because new budding artists have to live out of hotels, or live in places/countries away from home, and travel extensively - which is always very costly. As well, often many $1000's are also consumed by the newer artists' costs of agents, legal rights, managers, etc., plus purchasing expensive 'state-of-the-art' equipment that upgrades their previous 'backyard' equipment in preparation for genuine touring and large-scale concerts.

Then there are rehearsing costs - studios need to be hired, support musicians employed for practice purposes, music directors need to be employed, etc.

Nevertheless, these initial contract monies from publishers and record rights do make 'living money' for most artists starting out.

Answer 3

People make music using many methods, some do it for personal reasons, and others just fro the heck of it. If you want to know who to make certain type of music then you should look up that type of music. For example, ballads, they are written/"made" when someone is in love with another person, now that Ballad can be sad or happy. It all depends on what kind of music you wish to make, how you want it to sound, what the lyrics are, and the mood of the song.
