Get Good at Math The ability to quickly do math in your head is so useful in music. Musicians use math a lot, with music theory (scales, intervals, time signatures, modes, rhythms, chords, etc.), contracts, marketing analytics, or music production (frequencies, equalization, signal processing).

Read More »We want people to hear our music. We want them to know about us. No matter how great we and our music are, if nobody knows about us, we are doing it only for ourselves. Fame is part of being a successful professional musician. Music is a field where success must, by necessity, be associated with fame. While some musicians are well-known, others with equal or superior skill remain mired in obscurity. A reason is the well-known musicians are skilled at promoting themselves. This brings us back to marketing. There is another factor which can’t be ignored. Some will do everything right and fail, while others seem to do everything “wrong,” and yet succeed. I believe luck and timing are indispensable to success. It may be true there are things you can do to increase your likelihood of being lucky. Putting in your 10,000 hours to become the best at what you do will certainly improve your results, but your luck can be either good, bad, or nonexistent. There are always some things beyond our control. Can we really improve our luck? Probably. But there’s a limit, and recognizing and moving on from the inevitable failures, while learning from them is a theme that successful people are familiar with. You can’t win them all, but if you are hitting a percentage of the shots you take, you will accumulate a string of successes. The main thing is persistence. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. There isn’t any “easy” way to succeed. But not giving up is one key. Most people, when they encounter obstacles to their goals, will change the goal, instead of changing the path to the goal. It’s okay to dream big, but try to stay grounded in reality about what’s achievable. Don’t compare yourself to others, just try to be the best version of yourself. I hope these words of advice are useful to you in your quest to be successful as a musician. Wherever you are in the process, being open-minded, inquisitive, and a critical thinker will aid you in getting to where you want to go with your music. You are not alone on the path; there are many who have come before, and many who will come after you. Bringing your music into the world is indeed a noble endeavor.
