Adaptability and Professional Standards

Versatility and Adaptability

As my business grows, I would have to adapt to different playing environments, as I could be asked to perform in different ways, such as; Live, Studio, online, theatre, etc. Adapting to these environments could involve looking at the acoustics of the venue and whether or not gain levels of microphones would need to be increased, or decreased. 

To attract more of an audience, I could also look at becoming a multi-instrumentalist. This would mean that I play a variety of other instruments alongside the violin. For example, as I play the Violin, I could also learn other orchestral string instruments such as the Viola, Cello or even the Double Bass. These instruments could be good for business as it could give the person offering work a choice. It could also be very helpful within an orchestra with limited players. However, the choice is not limited and there are a variety of instruments that I could learn and perform with. 

Professional Standards

Time Management - Most people would want a musician who can walk in prepared, set up quickly and get the job done. All of my equipment would be checked before the performance, I would also keep spares, incase of an emergency. 

Professional Approach - Many people who are looking to employ a musician may not be looking for someone who plays incredibly well. Instead, they may be looking for someone who can do a professional job in the best way possible. This could be a performer who would bring a high quality performance, but also able to keep professional when setting up equipment, etc. 

Focus and Attention - If someone wanted to offer me a job, I would focus on the task at hand instead of focusing my attention on other things. I would like to complete all offers to a high standard.
