Musician Exodus ~Take The "Praise And Worship" Limit Off
Dear Musician, Take The "Praise And Worship" Limit Off
There are so many musicians practicing professions like medicine, law, pharmacy, accounting, etc., because they concluded there's nothing there for a musician to do apart from the following:
#1
Start playing an instrument or singing at a tender age, and attract so much attention and gifts to yourself.
#2
Get into the church payroll and start making money before most of your mates. Play in concerts and occasions like burial, child dedication, etc.
#3
Lose focus of every other thing and aspire to be a renowned musician/singer.
#4
Then join the multitude of musicians and singers out there who are miserable, frustrated, poor, despised, etc., or become a star and live happily ever after. The case is usually the former (musicians ending miserable, frustrated, etc.)
"A Shout Out To The Real Musicians Out There..."
I want celebrate all those who never lost their sense of direction and are still doing what they love most - music. You guys are the bomb.
However, y'all must learn to go beyond the four walls of the music department in the church into pursuing a career in music.
Stop limiting yourself with only praise and worship playing, when you can rule your world as any of the following:
Music engineer
Music educator
Music performer
Music promoter
Music journalist
Music therapist
...and MORE.
Above all, go and get a degree in music if you don't have one.
