How do I pay off student loans as a music major, emphasis on organ?
At the college I'm thinking of attending, I was awarded a music scholarship that requires me to major in music. I auditioned as a pianist and heard that organists make more than pianists. Any recommendations? I am also considering a different college where I would likely major in chemistry.

Should I consider a career as a college/university/conservatory professor?
After some consideration, I have wondered if perhaps a music professor would suit me? What does being a music professor include (lifestyle, work-life). Could I teach multiple instruments (specifically piano and voice)? What degree requirements would I need to have? How does one become a professor, and specifically how do I become a professor of multiple instruments? Is performance a part of the job? How often would I perform each instrument (voice and piano)? Thank you!

Is it possible for me to make it in the music industry with just a great ear and without a great skill in sight reading?
I'm a great musician. I can play piano, drums and bass guitar really well. But I play only by ear. I can't sight read very well so I substitute that hindrance with my good ear. I've played with many bands without a problem, but I'm not sure if that will change if I make that my career. I know how to read the music, but reading the music on the spot without time to figure it out is my problem. #music #musician #playing-piano
