What the performers get other than money.

Professional musicians make their living by performing.

Basically, they get paid.

However, they may receive something else.

In this issue, we will explain what professional performers receive in addition to money.

(Other than love and gratitude!)


◆Flowers

A bouquet of flowers. You can get them after the concert.

Although they are sometimes recommended as gifts in business books,
It is ultimately destined to be discarded.

（It is not a desirable gift (especially for male performers).
To some people, to performers,
Some people say to a performer, "Your flowers are short! Retire them!" ," as if they are being told to do so.

To begin with, I feel sad when I throw away wilted flowers...
I don't think the manners instructor's mind would understand (^-^;)

Tip: Some people get mad when they receive flowers.


◆Candy.

Mainly.

①Memorials of concerts
②Catering

are classified into two categories.
Musicians are always in an environment where they can receive sweets, so gifts are

other than sweets.

will make you feel impressed if you send them something other than sweets.
However, it is a hassle to think about it,
I myself send sweets to my acquaintances at their concerts (lol).

However, for wind instrumentalists...

I send alcohol!
Because they are drinkers!
They will be very pleased!


◆Souvenirs and food.

When we perform in the countryside, we sometimes receive food as souvenirs (local rice and vegetables). （We are very grateful for the food and souvenirs.)
We appreciate it very much.


◆Food and beverage expenses
If you help out at an amateur concert, you may be able to attend the launch for free.
You can drink a lot of alcohol.
Food should be moderate, as it is greasy in izakaya.


◆Mystery plaques and certificates.

If you have performed more than once in Rotary Clubs, etc.,
For some reason, you may receive a plaque or a certificate just for participating in a music festival.


◆They rent you a house for free!

Sometimes, young musicians who have no house to live in are offered free rentals.
Usually it's a house they don't live in now. (There are several examples)


◆Support for the family home.

In addition to money, support can be received from the family home.
By showing your parents that you usually have an unhealthy diet,
food and other items may be sent to you.

◆Finally ・・・・

Musicians basically have no money.

When you see them, for starters
20 kilos of unwashed rice! Send it to them!

They will be very thankful for it!

However, if the instructor of the Lesson Grid requests assistance with unwashed rice,
Please report it to the management!
Please do so.
