Answers:
The way you become a concert pianist might sound easy, but it involves many details!.
Anyways, the main things are, in order:
1!. Hard work and practice- always try to improve, no matter how "perfect" your playing might sound!. Trust me, it takes much time to achieve perfection!. And the best part is working on it and getting there!.
2!. Dedication- you have to give up lots of things in life!. For example, you will not have that much free time if you are serious about it!. You will still have a social life, of course, but you have to have a very demanding schedule!.
3!. Good teacher- that is what starts it all!. For exmple, I have the best teacher in my state, and it is going great!. Everything depends on the education that you are getting!. You also need to know theory!.
4!. Straight A's in high school, because that is the only way they will accept you in a great music college, like Juilliard!. And of course, recommandation letters, competitions that you have won, etc!.
5!. Personality and connection with the audience, a!.k!.a "presence"!. You need to have something special to impress a wide variety of people, not just the amateurs who are easily impressed by "spectacular- sounding" pieces and loudness and fast passages!. (no offense to anyone!.)
6!. Connections- get into as many recitals, competitions, and be guest artist at many times as you can- that will make people know you and promote you!. It could also lead to scholarships!. First be known in the area that you live in, and then you end up being known internationally!.
7!. Wide repertoire, and being ready at all times (like have a wide variety of pieces ready for any given thing, like getting into a last-minute recital "subbing", like if an artist cancelled the concert and you were asked to play instead of him/her!.)
8!. Once you are in a secure college, have people know you, won many competitions, and are an accomplished musician, then it is time to enter a huge competition, like the Van Cliburn, or Chopin International in Warsaw, which is my biggest goal, by the way!. (But before you go to any of those compeitions, first go to "warm-up" compeitions, like the Chopin in Czech Republic!.)
9!. And trust me, this is true: talent comes last!. If you are overflowing with talent, but if you don't work hard, you are not ready for demanding things in your life, and you are not well-known as to winning some nice compeitions, then talent doesn't matter!. Think: there are so many other pianists out there that are not good musicians at all (I won't name any names), but they work hard, have good managers, and have won competitions!. That's what makes them so famous and loved by the audience!. But if you want to be a respectful pianist/musician that wants to be remembered DECADES from now, then you need to be a sophisticated, young artist that works hard!.
So basically, if you want it short, then the steps are this:
1!. Work hard and win competitions/ play in many recitals in your area!.
2!. Have a good teacher and get into a good college!.
3!. Win one of the greatest competitions in the world, like the Van Cliburn, and graduate from college of course!. Then you will have career management and lots of recording deals!. What more do you need!? You will become famous in no time, when you add your awesome charm to making the audience love you!.
4!. Enjoy your life after you go through all this work!. Now all you have to do is practice and love it, because that's your life, right!?
I know this sounds very tough, but it is the truth of the classical music world!. If you want to be a real musician, you need to really be serious about it and love it!.
The benefits are: sharing your artistry and communicating with the audience, contributing to this world, being known as being on of the best pianists in the world, and of course, money!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
