What are some jobs you can get using piano skills?
Only a tiny number of musicians are able to get profitable jobs as performers. One fairly accessible non-performance job (and one of the most profitable ones) for a pianist would be piano tuning. It requires special training beyond just knowing how to play the piano, however. Many pianists offer private piano lessons, but you must be comfortable working with children (i.e. have lots of patience) before attempting that. Some large churches pay their musicians (including pianists), but you will probably have to agree to their doctrinal statement and attend that church in order to get such a position. If you are willing to get a college degree (which usually involves learning at least two or three instruments besides piano), you can also get a job as a middle school or high school music teacher, but again you must be comfortable working with kids.
