This is a very difficult question to answer and you’ll likely want to get more details about your own situation before giving you a specific answer. But in general, you could perform, record, compose, arrange, or teach music. These are all ways you can earn money as a musician. You’ll also need a bit of musical training, so it’s probably helpful to practice as much as possible.

Right. Most of my experience is in writing music, rather than performing. So should I focus on that?
