Many musicians begin studying an instrument at an early age. They may gain valuable experience by playing it in a school party or with friends. Musicians and singers continually make great efforts to improve themselves ---- exploring different styles of music.. Formal training may be received through studying music programs with a skilled teacher in a college or university.

Musicians must be knowledgeable about many musical styles but finally find the one that interests them most. Having many interests and skills can help enlarge employment opportunities and musical ability.

Young students considering careers in music should have talent(天才,才华), creativity, and a good stage presence(风度). Quality performance requires long-time study and practice, so self-discipline(自律) is quite important. To keep up a career as a musician, performers must achieve a high level of performance. Moreover, musicians who play in concerts or in nightclubs and those who tour must have physical energy to travel and play long performances. Because musicians must always make their performances look effortless, preparation and practice are important. Musicians must also be prepared to face the anxiety of discontinuous employment.

Advancement for musicians usually means becoming better known, finding work more easily and performing for more money. Successful musicians often depend on agents to find them opportunities to perform, and develop their careers.

Pable Picasso, The great Spanish painter, was born in 1881. When he died in 1973, he was ninety-one years old. But he still took up his paints and brushes to start a new picture as if he were seeing things for the first time. When he was over ninety, he still lived his life like a young man. He was still restlessly looking for new ideas and for new ways to use his artistic materials.

Most painters discover a style of painting that suits them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. As the artist grows older, his paintings may change, but not very much. But, Picassco was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He was still struggling to find perfect expression for his own uneasy spirit.

Some of Picasso’s paintings are rich, soft and beautiful, which are true to life. Others are ugly and cruel and strange with sharp, black outlines. But such paintings allow people to imagine for themselves. Picasso painted thousands of pictures on many different styles. If ever anyone was born to be a painter, Picasso was. If you like looking at pictures, try to find some books of Picasso’s painting and of other artists’ too―and see what they mean to you.
