WHY GO ON TOUR?
Young music students should consider going on tour for several reasons:
- Real-World Experience: Touring provides a hands-on, practical experience of what it's like to be a professional musician. It goes beyond the classroom or studio, offering a taste of life on the road and the demands of live performances.
- Performance Skills Enhancement: Regular performances in front of diverse audiences help students refine their stage presence, build confidence, and improve their musical abilities under various conditions.
- Cultural Exposure and Networking: Tours often involve travel to different cities or even countries, exposing students to new cultures, musical styles, and audiences. This broadens their horizons and allows them to make valuable connections in the music industry.
- Teamwork and Collaboration: Being on tour fosters a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. Students learn to work together, support each other, and handle the challenges of travelling and performing as a group.
- Discipline and Responsibility: Touring requires a high level of discipline, from adhering to schedules to managing personal and group responsibilities. This instils a sense of professionalism and work ethic.
- Inspiration and Creativity: Experiencing new places and meeting new people can be incredibly inspiring. This exposure can spark creativity and influence a student’s musical style and songwriting.
- Career Insights: Touring gives students a glimpse into the potential career paths within the music industry, including performance, production, management, and more.
- Memorable Experiences: Tours create unforgettable memories and stories. These experiences can be life-changing, shaping a student’s personal and professional future.
- Resilience and Adaptability: Being on the road teaches students to be adaptable and resilient, valuable skills in any career, especially in the ever-changing music industry.
- Passion Affirmation: Finally, touring can reaffirm a student's passion for music. The exhilaration of live performances and the satisfaction of entertaining an audience can fuel their love for music and motivate them to pursue it further.
