I love music but I don't love the music business?

I hope you've been reading my latest blogs on should you save yourself some money and get out the game we call the music business. And if you read them, you may say well, I love music but I don't love the music business!

I personally prefer calling the music business, the music industry. Why? The music industry, for example, entails the business of selling records, but it's not solely define by that. The record business is solely defined by the business of selling records. The music industry, however, has so many other things that songwriters, producers, beatmakers, etc. can do besides sell records. So you can love music and not sell records and do other things in the music industry.

For example, you can teach people how to create music by becoming a music teacher. You'd still be a songwriter or musician or a producer but you won't have to concern yourself with the song's marketability, or commercialism. That may be a great profession for those who just love music and don't want to sell their music.

Or you can be like JaWar and write some books about the music industry. Or you could write about music, about musicians, songwriters, music industry professionals, etc. I myself am about to write some books about songwriting so stay tuned for more details!

As an author, you can still enjoy music and again you don't have to worry as much about some of the negative things that come with the business of selling records. So yes, you can love music and not love the music business, and still love what you do in the music industry. There's nothing stopping you from doing something else.

Berklee lists over 70 different careers in the music industry!!!!!
Kenfoster.com lists all the qualifications, if any, that are needed to do some of these other careers in the music industry and their salary ranges. Menc.org also has a chart detailing salary ranges and qualifications of other careers in the music industry.

Just do a google search like I did for careers in the music business and you'll find lots of ways to still love music and have a career in the music industry.
