Interactive Musician

For talented Musicians of all kinds it is always a great challenge to stay focused on your work when fame knocks to your door. Suddenly, such a Musician finds himself in the centre of attention, surrounded by fans and admirers. It is in a time like this when critique is harder and harder to accept. A lot of Musicians, especially those who are still young, falls into this trap of self-admiration and glamour. For some of them this might even be the beginning of the end of their careers.

This is also true for every Classical Musician – without a lot of practice and patience, even the brightest stars of the world of classical music can fade in time. Sometimes, this fading process is very fast and leaves them devastated and lonely, forgotten by their audience and ex-patrons. Most talented Musicians who are at the top of their artistic careers, do not think much about the future, they try to live every day to its fullest. It is of course understandable, this is, after all, what they’ve been waiting for all their lives. Still, getting to the top is far easier than staying there, and you need to keep that in mind if you want to be one of the lucky few who succeed in doing this.

  1. Sometimes a song can contain a very basic structure as many have done and despite its simplicity it still captures the hearts of millions of musicians worldwide perhaps for its thoughtful composition or that the admires can feel the notes the musician is playing or singing. A good example is the cover by Mark McGlashan of a song written by Paul Weller called You Do Something To Me.
