Whether rich and part of the royal family or a street musician or peddler, life would not be the same without music. People are not considered proper and educated if they have not thoroughly studied music. Technological advances in the quality, complexity, and methods of production of the instruments have been made as we have been using them. Here in the Renaissance we have three major types of musicians. One, the most common, is the street musician.
Street musicians are very common and can be found on virtually every corner.
Compare a street musician to your saxophone player you see in the parking garage asking for money. Street musicians play little tunes that they think up on the spur of the moment. The next type of musician is the classical composer. Being a composer during our time is also a hard job because to actually hear the music you have created, an entire orchestra- an extremely difficult task, must be assembled . Being a composer is not a very stable job, for he may sit for nearly an entire year composing a single arrangement and receive no pay if there isn't an orchestra willing to buy the music.
