Request for guidance for a career in music industry

[pardhu]

Hi

I studied the basics of Carnatic (South Indian classical) vocal music
in India for an year. Now I am studying Western classical music theory
in Cyprus.

I am a software engineer by profession and becuase of this I dont get
enough time to practise and progress in music.

Could someone suggest me what steps I can take to improve my career in
music? I need to start working in music industry so that I can learn my
livelihood as well as learn with the help of music.

Could someone suggest me which courses and diplomas in which
universities guarantee me a job in the music industry?

By jobs in the music industry, I mean as a sound engineer or a music
programmer.

Many Many Thanks for your help

Now this is the funniest misinterpretation of the group's name I've ever
heard.

I suggest going to www.osxaudio.com and joining the forum there. It's
full of engineering types who can offer more help than the people who
frequent this area.

Hi

Thanks so much for your kind replies...

Could you tell me something about the academic front in Classical Music
Theory? Is the situation better?

I am doing quite well in Western Classical Music Theory. Can I aspire
for
some scholarship for doing further studies in Music Theory and hope for

a teacher's job in a music university later?

Right now, I would be giving my exams for 8th grade in the Royal School

of Music (ABRSM), London. Can a good score in this exam fetch me an
admission for further studies into Music theory and Compostion (MS and
later may be PhD) with a scholarship or some kind of research
assistantship in a
University of US or Europe?

And how far would a degree (MS or PhD in Music) help me getting a
teacher's job in the music unievrsites/schools?

Thanks a million for your kindness in guiding me...

You could always check out The University of London's "BA
Industrial/EBM Music Research" courses.

Dude, wrong forum. Industrial music is one thing that certainly
guarantees that you won't be having a job in the music industry.
