Hello, I'm currently in my sophomore year at high school, and I play the violin. I really want to make music my career, in particular I am interested in playing in a pit orchestra for musicals. I am just wondering if anyone is in that business and can tell me a little bit about it. Where did you go to college? How did you get your first job and where? Does the pit orchestra move with the musical if it is on tour or do the musicals come to you? Do you make a good living by just playing in the pit, or do you have to do something like teaching music on the side?
If anyone can answer any of these questions or can tell me anything else they can think of, that would be awesome!
Thanks,
Livy.
