Answer 3

Hi Indy,

I bet you really are good at the clarinet... but I am thinking you are going to have to get a little older to make money.   Not much though  :))   only until you are about 17.    But until then,  you need to get your name out there, so people know you are a serious musician.   Playing at church is one way... but if you don't have a music department in your church,  you can look for a church in your area that does.    You can also volunteer to go and play at the Nursing Homes...  not that anyone there would be hiring you... but this gives you valuable experience in playing before audiences.    You can form your own little band group with a couple of friends who play clarinet and flute and advertise to play at benefits,  anniverseries,  luncheons.. or anything outdoors...   There are tons of places to play and get noticed... but until you are older... unless people just tip you for your playing....  you cannot get paid like as in a job.     Hope that helps..

Answer 4

awww. wait a few years, and maybe you'll find something.

try marching band when you get into highschool.....it's alot of fun!

and then when you hit college, you could probably get a scholarship, and with that, you can go very far.
