Experienced

Valuable

Depends on what kind of experience you seek. if it's creative realated, don't contact companys, but rather contact individuals, musicians, producers, tell them that you admire their work, mention something they did recently, ask them the same question, dont ask fo work experience, ask for advice, if they can help they will be more likely to give you a chance, that if you force a CV  through official email

Music

How can I get work experience in the music industry?

Be a songwritter+producer. Nowadays anyone can build a studio in their bedroom, so any technical jobs are becomming obsolite. the knowledge however, is growing in demand. people actually capable of writing and performing music on request are in greatest demand, if you can write music you can become a songwritter, produces, or commercial composer. Being a session musician is second best choice, but it basically boils down to being the best out of best, just to have an equal chance against other session players. Best advice I can give you is don't think of music as a career path, for you need to be able to do music in the irst place. Get a job doing something else and do music in your own time, if you get good enough at it, money will follow. Music is not as much of a career as it is passion that only lucky few manage to turn into a career.

I love Music, like it's the only subject i enjoy in school but don't know what career to pursue using that skill. Any ideas?

If you are more of a singer, audition for function bands, that will at least pay the bills and keep you performing. If you want a solo career, Build a brand around yourself, generate some following, make the lables come after you, if they see that you're capable of making them profit, they will help propel you forward. If you are more of a songwritter, submit your material to publishers, Become a producer, write for other people, if the songs you weite for others make them sucesfull, they will make you ten times more sucesfull because of it. All in all, it's a very self-starter kind of environment. If you want to have any other employemnt in the music industry that is not centered on your music or performance, then it is the typical business rout of making friends in right places go to gigs, industry fairs and events.
