Making Music Work: Sustainable Portfolio Careers for Australian Musicians

该项目旨在探索音乐家维持成功组合事业所需的条件和策略。大多数音乐家都有“组合职业”，结合了表演、录音、创作、音乐指导、教学、社区活动、健康、零售和在线环境的各个方面。这种现象——通常是跨音乐类型的——很普遍，但却没有得到很好的理解。该项目包括对个别音乐家或乐团的调查和12个深入的案例研究，旨在确定成功的关键因素和障碍。此信息旨在告知培训、发展和支持的机会。

This project plans to explore the conditions and strategies needed for musicians to sustain successful portfolio careers. Most musicians have ‘portfolio careers’, combining aspects of performance, recording, creation, music direction, teaching, community activities, health, retail and a presence in online environments. This phenomenon — often across music genres — is widespread but not well understood. The project involves surveys and 12 in-depth case studies of individual musicians or ensembles that will aim to identify key success factors and obstacles. This information is intended to inform opportunities for training, development and support.
