Thanks Randy

I’m an American living in Ghana, West Africa. I’ve been performing the entire time I’ve been here. I’ve just closed a Jazz Club of 7 years. Now I’m interested in taking my Jazz Singing/playing to other countries like Dubai, Abu Dabi, Asia, or possibly other African Countries. I’ve helped a lot of musicians in Ghana. I’ve also kept “Jazz Alive” in Ghana. These Musicians seems to be going places. Now, I’m ready to do my thing! Do you have any suggestions? Oh and I can read chord changes. Someone has hired me to entertain them and their friends once a week for 3 hours at $100 a week. I’m trying to really get the piano sound lively. I do have a pretty decent voice. Also a wonderful entertainer. Which is what I love more than anything.

Seems to me that singing and making albums is the FIRST gig everyone thinks about, which would make it the last gig to be included on this list! But while we’re working on making those albums, and making money from those albums, these are nice gigs to help make ends meet.

So how do you find these elusive church gigs? Especially when you’re no longer in school, where they post them.

Elyse, I’m sure if you put yourself out there a little more with some examples of what you’ve transcribed that you would get some people who would pay you. Depending on how quick they want it, charge like, $30 – $50/hr. Let’s say they wanted it in the next 4 days. Charge $50/hr and work work work. You’ll get quite a bit, AND you’ll have something for your library if someone wants to buy that transcription. If they want it in the next month, charge $30/hr and don’t work too hard all at once but don’t miss the deadline. If I could transcribe better, I would be doing this.

I transcribe a lot but I wouldn’t ever think I could get paid for it.
