Last Month at the Local
Thank you to the nearly 100 musicians that participated in the South Florida Musician Survey. The results are in, and they are not surprising.
The greatest concerns that musicians have are job security, pay rates, and finding enough work to make a living. There were also frequent complaints that musicians work at the whim of local contractors and agencies. What musicians would like to see is us doing more to promote fairness in the musical workplace, as well as our Association having more visibility in the community. You want us engaged in a broader range of the musical industry, and you want us to educate the community on setting standards so we aren't always undercutting each other in a race to the bottom. Over the next few months our Board will be discussing ways for us to work together to achieve these goals. We hope to have community discussions on these issues, so if you are a member, please join us at the April membership meeting!
