Best Answer

To become a musician in the Baroque period, one had to be a son of a musician or become an apprentice. Most composers were choir boys who learned about music in choir school. If one didn't have any parents, they also had a chance to be a musician. Orphans were trained in music, so they could be put in operas as actors or instrumentalists.
