Task 3 Identify how you might normally apply for a job within the music industries.
If the applicant wants to apply online he has to register in a website for music jobs. Once he is a member he has to create a profile featuring pictures and mp3s, then browse and apply for current industry opportunities on the members Jobs Board. In this way he will know about any vacancy.
Many people get a job in the music industry because they know other people that are connected to it. Most a times it's just a fact of knowing the right people and to have luck.
It usually takes a lot of time to get a way in the music industry.
For example an unknown band might start their career by performing in pubs, or small places and maybe after several years they might be noticed by someone and then be sponsored.
Another example is the X Factor; many unknown singers and groups perform and compete and at the end there's one winner that will be sponsored for a year. Different people made their way through this program, even if they were not the winners.
Task 4 Identify recruitment practices for the two selected jobs
-Music director
There are many different types of music directors and different types of recruitment practices. The common method for the recruitment for music directors is:
- apply directly at the company, or school, or church;
- get an interview;
- take your CV, career development plan (short, middle and long term goal) and the application form for that job to the interview
-female singer
These are the same recruitment practices for every singer:
- apply through a website or straight from the manager;
- get an interview;
- get some evidences of performances, compositions, any work experience at the interview
- take your application form and CV to the interview.
Task 5 Research the pay scales for the two selected jobs
The average salary for a Music Director is around $50,000 per annum, but the salary depends on the experience.
The average salary for a female singer is around $35,000 per annum but it takes a lot of time before a singer starts earning much.
The average salary for a Music Director depends from where the subjects practices his profession: a Music director in an orchestra always earns more than a music director in a church.
The salary of a singer increases only if the singer is successful. If the singer gets a number 1 hit or if she sells many of her CDs her salary gets higher.
Task 6 Identify the training needed for the two selected jobs.
-To be a professional female singer the subject has to have a good and a strong voice. Many singers start out by singing in a church or in a small band. Most of them are trained in professional schools or with private teachers. Singers should have study drama and arts and follow a program for voice.

-To be a music director one has to possess Master of Fine Arts and doctorate degrees in music programs. A fine arts music director should have experience in orchestras and a prior conducting is essential. A school Music Director needs skills benefiting a teaching position and also a teaching credential from the school's state.
