AIMM: Career Options For Child With Music Aspirations

Duluth, Georgia -

GA based Atlanta Institute of Music and Media (AIMM) has published a new resource that can help parents learn how to support a child with a burgeoning interest in music. Freely accessible on the Institute’s blog space, the article highlights a number of career options for children with music aspirations and emphasizes how parents can ensure their child’s success later on in life.

AIMM observed that many parents tend to have misgivings about their child pursuing a career or higher education in music due to the belief that there are relatively few music careers in which they can flourish. In some cases, parents may even be concerned that a music career will be difficult to earn a livable wage with, and AIMM attributes this to the stereotype of the starving artist. However, having developed the minds and talents of countless artists and music producers over the year, the Institute says this stereotype has no basis in fact.

Careers in music, they assert, can be extremely lucrative, with individuals making upwards of six figures depending on their specific role. Notably, many of these roles also have nothing to do with the performance aspect of the industry. A musician need not take to the stage or advertise themselves to gain a following in order to be successful, and AIMM says one of the best ways to ensure this kind of success is to obtain a music degree.

The article says, “How employable your child will be is an essential aspect of becoming a music major. In this regard, a music degree is absolutely worth it. Many employers seek out music students because these candidates have knowledge of music theory, note reading, performance techniques, and understand the technical aspects of music. Every degree has its own concentration and various required courses in music, so your child should know the career path they want before getting started.”

Since this involves children, AIMM acknowledges that few will know exactly what they wish to pursue so early. However, it is advisable that they have some idea of what they would like to do, especially given that much of the action that occurs behind the scenes in the music industry can be found with a little online research. Should any jobs or activities stand out to them, this may indicate where their attention should be focused in their academic career. The Institute adds that a working knowledge of music hardware or software can contribute greatly to their appeal with potential employers, bolstered by internships, networking and so on.

The article identifies a number of careers that serve as excellent examples of lucrative careers in music. The first of these may have a poor reputation given how notoriously difficult it is to break into, but a child who shows a natural aptitude for performing live and so on may wish to become a professional musician. Alternatively, they may feel the call to teach others, in which case a career as a private music teacher may be what they are looking for. AIMM also suggests that parents and children take a look at the roles of music producers, music therapists, sound technicians (for broadcast), audio engineers and more.

While it is possible for an individual to succeed in these careers without an extensive academic background, AIMM says that all of these careers benefit enormously from having a music degree. In addition to reassuring potential clients and employers of the individual’s capability in their field, it means that they have had experience in the industry (which is especially important when starting out), networked with like-minded peers, used and become familiar with top-of-the-line equipment and acquired the best performance techniques.

The article concludes, “If your child has the drive to succeed in the music industry but doesn't know where to start, let the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media put them on the right path.” AIMM offers a music degree that provides comprehensive instruction in music and related careers. Anyone who wishes to learn more may read the full article or contact AIMM directly to discuss their child’s future at the Institute and in the industry.

Atlanta's Foremost Music School Is Offering An Online Music Production Certificate Program

Duluth, Georgia -

Atlanta Institute of Music and Media (AIMM) is urging United States residents and international students, who envision a career for themselves in the exciting world of music production, to find out more about its online music production course.

AIMM’s Online Music Production Certificate offers “a hands-on, immersive music atmosphere, the opportunity to become AVID Pro Tools Certified, rigorous and engaging course material that covers all aspects of tracking, editing, mixing, and mastering music, 100% online and asynchronous coursework that gives students ultimate control over the pace of their learning, a significantly lower price point than other music schools, and lifetime career assistance and networking opportunities.”

The spokesperson for AIMM talks about why students should consider opting for an online course by saying, “Over the years, we have catered to all types of students here at AIMM. We have found that there is a huge difference in how our students learn best. Since music production is a creative endeavor, we have observed that some of our students feel out of their element in the classroom environment. These students would much rather consume the high-quality course material, that we have compiled here at AIMM, in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. However, classroom learning has its distinct benefits such as immediate feedback from instructors and the chance to get one’s questions answered on the spot. With AIMM's online music production program, we wanted to bridge the gap between these two distinct styles of learning. We want to make it possible for everyone to sharpen their skills with the best music production instructors working in an academic setting today. Moreover, learning from home also allows our students to save the money that they otherwise would have had to spend were they to move to Atlanta. With our online course, our students can learn at a pace that works for them in a schedule of their choosing without having to quit their current employment. With full-time coursework that lasts just 9 months, students who enroll today can also look forward to getting hired in less than a year. If you think you have what it takes to make it big in the music industry, come to AIMM where we will equip you with all that you need to know to match wits with the best of its professionals.”

Some of the school’s most accomplished alumni include Kesha Lee, an engineer who earned a Grammy for her work on Childish Gambino's song, This is America, KEYZBABY, who co-produced America's #1 song in 2020, WAP, and Turbo the Great, a producer who has worked with Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Baby, and Travis Scott. Some of the other major artists that our alumni have partnered with or worked for include Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, BeyoncĂ©, Ciara, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Childish Gambino, Nelly, Mariah Carey, TI, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, Lil Uzi Vert, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, and more.

The musical, acoustic, technical, and production skills that students learn at AIMM are also applicable to other industries. For example, Andrew Tanguay, an AIMM alumnus is an Audio Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Atlanta Falcons. AIMM graduates can qualify for a range of audio production and music composition-related careers such as Director of Audio Events, Director of Visual Events, Music Producer, Sound Engineer, Audio and Lighting Technician, Audio Engineer, Music Center Owner and Entrepreneur, Audio Visual Specialist, Professional musician, Mix Engineer, Contemporary music production instructor, Music Composition, Musical Theatre Performer, Artist Director, Piano Guitar Tuning Professional, Music Instructor/Teacher, Private Lesson Instructor, DJ, and more.
