The facilities and the complications of beginner ensembles in the professional lif

About this exposition

Many students, including me, have problems to change from their student-life to the professionallife. As a student I think it is caused by too much focus on developing instrumental skills, as for a future career, there are more skills a student should develop. Practice is important but we should not forget that nowadays contemporary/modern music has to struggle to get new audiences. This research investigates the possibilities we have, as a new ensemble, to enter into the professional music world. We have been executing some experiments with my new percussion trio “XTRO”. The outcome of these experiments will show that there are good and bad ways to promote your ensemble. The importance of good and well thought-of programs and repertoire, collaborations with composers, guidelines how to introduce your group to programmers of venues and the cleverest ways to use social networks are subjects that will be treated in this research. This research will provide and explore the approaches that are necessary for starting ensembles in order to enter and to promote themselves in the music industry.
