COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the local music scene, mirroring its impacts across all arts sectors. So many music events, including concert tours, music festivals, award shows, and the like were canceled. While some musicians are using this time to create new works, there was a flow-on effect on the many supportive people who relied on performers for their income.
Tips for musicians on how to survive this pandemic
Things that we have found helpful and every musician should implement in his/her everyday quarantine life are as follows:
Stick to a routine
Allocate different parts of the day for different activities you want to keep up with, for example, create a new composition in the morning, instrument practice in the afternoon, and make it a steady routine.
It helps you keep more focused and organized. Moreover, the routine makes time go by much faster!
Listen to lots of music
Do you really miss live concerts? The plethora of online concerts from musicians and concert halls all over the world is an amazing resource for you. This will give you a great chance to get to know new artists, composers; performers that you wouldn’t normally see live.
Pick up that instrument
If you are neglecting your instrument since the COVID-19 outbreak, now’s the time to make up for it. If you don’t want to play what others have already written, explore the possibilities of your instruments, or play an experimental free-improve gig for your fans online.
Revisit old scores
If you’re a composer take a closer look at your old compositions, think of what you could have done differently, self-reflect; this could be your chance to start a new era in your creative life.
Take advantage of the online platforms
It’s extremely hopeful and inspiring to see how social platforms like Myfan are helping Local musicians or bands to promote their services to a wide audience for free. Here musicians can sell guitar lessons, piano lessons, vocal lessons, and other services related to music.
Despite this, Myfan is also working as a marketplace for Event planners, bar owners, music head-hunters who are looking for local musicians to hire for their event or gig. They are able to browse musicians, look at their portfolio, listen to music, and hire them for their events. Lots of love and strength to all of you, and don’t forget that we’re all in this together!
