Sector mapping
As a musician I have a set of sectors which I can match myself to. Sector mapping is very useful where you can decide on a number of diverse routes to your main profession and ways to accomplish it in the near future. It helps to assess your abilities and put them to good use.
So the main profession that I am into is being a music teacher. Therefore it is divided into three sectors by itself beingÂ
# Music teacher in schools
# Private Music Tutor
# Music teacher on youtube or other social media platforms
Music teacher at schools is a routine job that is the main part of my profession. You would help young people to learn how to express themselves by playing, composing and performing music and enjoy listening to music. It includesÂ
# planning lessons to suit the needs of the students
# teaching pupils to play an instrument and to read and understand music
# helping pupils prepare for music exams, competitions and performances.Â
Being a music teacher at school is a whole lot of an experimental playground where I can experiment some of the methods of my teaching to the students I teach, and possibly get a response that can overwhelming or also depressing!Â
Being a private music tutor is not so identical where I get to meet individual people, (or as a small group) and get to assess their musical needs and train them accordingly. Its a place to learn more about yourself, and developing your own method of lesson delivery and improving aspects of your teaching.Â
And on the other side is YouTube which is a much wider audience you could have. YouTube is the biggest platform for music education! It has more than 500,000 educational videos and music tutorial videos constitute a significant amount. It is one of the major business platforms on social media where any musical content in the forms of bands, compositions and educational stuff can be promoted and be accessible to a number of users. So YouTube is a place where I can have a digital audience to my tutorial videos where I can share lessons personalised for my subscribers and to the want of the whole youtube community.Â
A whole new side of me which I have come to discover in the Masters is being a creative music producer. I have been producing some synth music, a one minute duration loops. Which I come to think of can be a great resource for adverts. I’ve been preparing some loops lately. You can give it a listen on my Soundcloud @vijayz9​ Being a music producer was not something on my list for a very long time but, discovering the other side of me, I seem to possess the qualities of a music producer and the relevant gears too.Â
