Just like many other artistic disciplines, there is no doubt that pop music lends itself quite well to solo learning, in a self-taught manner, as one might say. Learning to sing, play the guitar, keyboard, or drums can be done alone, even if it will likely take more time. As for more formal learning, universities, bachelor's degrees in arts and music, and bachelor's degrees in musicology allow one to acquire theoretical skills on the history of music and expand one's musical culture. Professional training in contemporary music also covers practical skills. Private schools, such as the Center for Teacher Training in Dance and Music (CEFEDEM), offer specialized training to become a singing teacher. They also incorporate modules on the teaching profession. These courses also allow one to take an examination to become a singing teacher, such as the CAPEC in music education and choral singing or the External Territorial Professor of Artistic Education, specializing in music. In order to become a singer, in addition to conservatories, which are quite popular, musical training is almost indispensable, and we have listed for you the most well-known and widespread options: - The Lyric Workshop or National Academy of the Paris Opera www.operadeparis.fr - The National Center for Lyric Art in Marseille www.cnipal.fr - The Studio of the Lyon Opera www.opera-lyon.org - The Masters, for children - The Workshops of the Rhine www.operanationaldurhin.eu - The Voice Center www.royaumont.com - Varieties Training: Studio des Variétés (song, rock, rap, techno...) www.studiodesvarietes.org - Contemporary Music Training: Fneijma, Irma, Cim Furthermore, in terms of generic training options before or after the baccalaureate, here is a brief summary of existing options: Before baccalaureate: - Music Classes on Amended Schedules (CHAM).

There are several ways to make a living through pop music and that's exactly what we're going to explore now. Of course, there are concerts to start with... In the past, concerts were used to promote an album rather than actually make a living; nowadays, it's pretty much the opposite. Musicians (whether in pop or not) no longer make a living from record sales, which have collapsed since the advent of the internet. They now earn a living from concerts, tours and other festivals which have become the main source of income for numerous artists. Performing on stage, in addition to the pleasure that it brings, is an excellent way to build a fan base and make a little money. And on the same line of thinking, we can't ignore to talk about e-concerts. Indeed, while most live streaming platforms such as Facebook Live or YouTube Live do not offer direct compensation for musicians, this can be remedied by creating a "virtual hat" in the form of a Tipeee link pinned in the top comment or in the video description. One advantage of live streaming over real concerts is the intimacy created between the artist and the viewer through the chat. In addition to playing your music, chatting with those who listen to you allows them to discover your personality, and if they appreciate both, you've won by playing on this false sense of intimacy. Another way to make a living with pop music is merchandising, which, while sometimes marginal, should not be overlooked... Nowadays, CDs and vinyl are relegated to the status of promotional items, similar to t-shirts, posters, books, mugs, lighters and all other music group or singer-related items (we call all that promotional stuff "goodies"). The whole range of these products should therefore not be neglected, as they can both represent a small financial windfall and also free advertising, through which you can land new contracts and other concerts. It is therefore important to find original support ideas that reflect the soul of your pop music, as this will be the best way to optimize your merchandising and make some extra money. Finally, and this is once again a reflection of the times, we should not forget to talk about crowdfunding, as this method is gaining momentum and working better and better. Crowdfunding platforms allow fans to make an online donation to the artists they appreciate; thus, when you broadcast your musical creations on YouTube or any other social network, you can include a Tipeee link from which you can receive tips from your subscribers and fans. This solution is increasingly popular and it must be acknowledged that it works very well, as long as you have a solid fan base.

Let's say things clearly and without beating around the bush, when we talk about an official concert for which you have paid or will pay your ticket, the professional status of the singer (and more broadly of the musicians...) guarantees you a quality performance with groove; this applies to pop music as well as any other musical style. However, let's not kid ourselves, when you attend these street concerts or shows in bars, it is common to come across amateur musicians, including singers, and sometimes, it must be admitted, it hurts the ears and the stage performance is embarrassingly weak!!! For a performance at home, a small-scale pop music session, calling on one or more professionals is again a way to ensure a performance that is up to par and worth the price you will have paid. The professional takes care of their voice, because it is simply their tool of the trade, they know how to prepare themselves to be in shape when the time comes, but that's not all... In addition to their highly technical level, the professional pop musician knows how to surround themselves with everything they need to ensure a quality performance. That's why pop music groups are often accompanied by a sound engineer to have a cleaner and smoother sound when performing live. This technician has all the necessary equipment to deliver optimal quality for the performance for which you have contracted them.

The activity of home or private concerts has been booming in recent years and more and more professional groups, singers and musicians are now considering offering this type of performance directly to the public. Whether it's for a birthday, retirement, promotional corporate event, or simply for the pleasure of having a private concert, it is increasingly common for individuals to inquire about the possibility of having their chosen singer or performer come to their home for a fee, of course. However, it should be noted that some professionals are in high demand and may not be available if you don't plan ahead. It is therefore best not to wait until the last minute to start looking into the options available to you. Don't wait until the pop band or artist of your choice is already booked to contact them!

Let it be known that no matter where you are or live, whether it be a region or department, finding a professional of this type should not be too much of a problem, especially if you live near a big city, because in general, one should be aware that large urban centers are areas of concentrated activity. Whether you live in Agaram city center or in the deep countryside of Pas de Calais or Ardèche, as long as there is a big city within 30 or 40 km... In any case, to start, we advise you to ask around your acquaintances and your loved ones, as word of mouth is an excellent way to find the right person for this kind of thing. If this first search yields nothing, know that you can then turn to the internet, where everything is searchable and findable, as long as you take the time. Once online, no matter which search engine is used, we invite you to consult a website such as StarOfService, for example, which lists all the professionals in a particular field, depending on where you are conducting the search and where you live. In just a few clicks, the site will allow you to obtain the contact details of the professional and to contact them within minutes to find out their availability, rates, etc.

Before giving you any specific rates or price ranges, we would like to emphasize that your geographical location can have a relatively significant impact on the prices charged. Therefore, please understand that the price ranges we will give you are necessarily somewhat broad. On average, according to our figures, the observed rate for a private pop music performance ranges from 150 Euros to several thousand Euros (Is it a solo artist? Is it a group? What is the group’s notoriety? Etc.). Hiring a professional musician or music group for a cocktail, wedding, birthday, dinner, or corporate event can give your event a unique touch. The cost may vary depending on factors such as the length of the performance, the distance the artist or artists travel to provide the performance, their level of skill and popularity. Generally speaking, the more talented the musician or musicians are, the higher the performance cost will be, but this is not always the case. Therefore, it is best to inquire as early as possible. Some musicians whose careers have just launched can be very talented but less expensive than others who are better known. It is good to note this, so take the time to listen carefully and choose wisely and make your decision with full knowledge. In France, there are several types of associations that aim to protect their members, which of course involves establishing price levels. Members of SAMUP (as well as other associations) have defined a minimum remuneration rate below which the artist will not work. Although this represents a more expensive process than hiring non-unionized artists, the chances of finding a pop musician or group with considerable experience are greater. Therefore, sometimes it is important to make the right choice in order to achieve the best possible result. Finally, on the subject of payment, we would like to point out that some musicians require a deposit to ensure their services. The specifics of this arrangement will depend on the musician and may range from 5% to 25% of the total balance.

Unless you know the singer or musician you want to hire and their repertoire inside out, the selection process can be difficult, especially since there are so many options out there. Avoid booking a singer or musician whose repertoire you know little about, as this is the easiest way to end up with pop music that you don't appreciate, or an atmosphere that does not suit you. Nowadays, with the advent of communication technology and the internet, platforms such as SoundCloud and Bandcamp are great tools for discovering the works of pop music artists and finding someone whose style matches your expectations and taste. In some cases, the musician may even have their own personal and official website, giving you a more in-depth review of their talents and performances. Additionally, word-of-mouth is one of the best ways to find quality pop music professionals, regardless of the industry. So start by asking your friends, family, and acquaintances, as they may know of a highly talented singer or group of pop musicians near you. If not, use the internet and check out some professional referral sites like StarOfService. Here, you'll find a list of professionals who operate in your region, along with reviews and comments from clients who have used their services. After finding a suitable professional, make sure to confirm their availability, rates, and the deadlines you want to meet. Finally, our last advice on the topic is to be cautious about singers, musicians or pop music groups who offer services at unbeatable rates.

- How long have you been working in this profession or activity? Did you pursue any specific studies or training to produce pop music now? - What are your rates? Can I have a detailed breakdown of them? - Will you provide me with a formal estimate before the service? - What is your availability like? - Can you guarantee the respect of the deadlines we will agree on?
