VII- Read and answer the following questions by choosing the letter A, B, C or D.

I started playing the piano when I was four years old. My mother thought it would be a good outlet for positive
childish energy and I was really into it; it was exciting. It was something different and I had much more time to
practice then. The first time I performed in front of an audience was when I was five years old and I loved it. I went
on a summer camp run by my piano teachers at the time and at the end of the week we all got up and played a piece.
At that age I was unaware of any of the pressure associated with performing live so it just felt nice to have people
concentrating on my playing and I liked the applause and attention. Now I perform regularly, often in front of large
audiences, and I still really enjoy it.

I always knew I wanted to be a pianist and never thought I would do anything else. In that respect I felt different
from my friends when I went to school; they all thought they wanted to become teachers or doctors and things like
that and I just knew I would be a pianist but it didn't feel strange. Finding time to play and practice wasn’t a problem
at school until my last few years when the pressure of exams and things was hard, but generally I would choose to
practice instead of doing homework. It always felt like schoolwork got in the way of playing the piano rather than
the other way around. Unfortunately I was never given any special allowances or extended deadlines though. After I
finished school I went on to study a degree in music and now I'm studying a Masters degree in accompaniment.

A typical day now involves a couple of hours practice in the morning before going into college and attending
classes. I spend a lot of time in the library listening to music, trying to learn and become familiar with new pieces of
music. One downside to choosing to study and pursue a career in music is that you end up spending hours and hours
by yourself. However, I also try to spend time at college meeting other people and networking. The more musicians
I know the more likely I am to be asked to play for others. The more I play the better known I become and in the
music business it's all about recognition and getting your name out there. It's important to get involved in as many
performances as possible and take part in competitions so that as many people as possible see you perform and know
who you are. It's a very competitive industry. Ultimately, if I am asked to play and get given a job it means that
someone else loses work and sometimes it feels like a constant battle. You can't help being drawn into an artificial
world where you are constantly comparing yourself to others and are always worried about what others think of your
performances. In the real world outside of college your audience is much wider.

I chose to get involved in accompaniment because as much as I love playing the piano I also enjoy working with
others. And working as an accompanist is a good way of doing that. There are also more job opportunities as
although there is still a lot of competition other performers will always need good accompanists, so there is more
demand. I really enjoy performing with other people because there's an even greater sense of achievement when you
are both on form and a piece comes out amazingly.

To follow a career in music you have to have a real passion for it as unfortunately it's not a very secure path and it's
not usually very well paid. Having said that, the real positive side is that I am doing something I love; it's not just a
subject to study. I love everything associated with music and performing and it's what I do every day.
