What are some music related careers for people who can't play an instrument or sing?
Asked by falloutboyroxmysoxoff1
Music is my passion and my favorite thing in life and eventually want to make a career out of it. However, I don't know whats available for someone who has an ear for music and knows it very well but isn't musically inclined. Such as what positions there are at a record label. I would also love to know what I should study / major in at college to prepare me for this.

Best Answer:
you can WRITE music, lyrics or instrumentals,whatever. but i think in your case songwriting would be cool. record labels..hmm im not so sure about what you can do there, i'll let you know when i finally get the chance to record in album (haha), but no just google that one. or you can be a dj..? music critic. cd store owner. don't give up on some musical career. whatever it is...goodluck.

There are lots of options for you! For school I would look into a music management degree (yup, they exsist!) and this would lead you to a job in as a music manager, perhaps a music supervisor (they shop out music to be put with movies and commercials), how about working directly in the movie biz being the person that is pairing the music with the fim, perhaps you could be an AnR person that hunts out new talent, what about being someone who grooms acts to being all that they can be? There are LOADS of jobs for people that are not the 'talent' side of the music! Those are generally the people that make the money too lol! Here's a handy little article all about it http://www.jobmonkey.com/filmmusic/music_jobs.html and lots more information can be found on google :)

it might be helpful to learn an instrument but it is not necessary you could right music - if you want to right music you would need to be able to sing to other people - you don't need to be able to sing well, just be able to sing so other people are able to hear the beat and the rhythm to which the words are said to (basically if someone asked you to sing you would) for example how well do you think Louis Walsh can sing; that never stopped him though you could become a famous music producer promote singers
