Help Wanted! Musicians Needed!
Become a musician for the Pharoah today!
Who would want this job?
You can be a man or a woman to have this job. If you enjoy playing your instrument for a long time in the evening, then this job is for you. You should be aware that others will be enjoying themselves with some delicious food while you are playing. If this bothers you, don’t take the job. But if you are the type of person who will work for hours for the benefit of others, you will do very well as a musician.
Benefits of this job:
When you perform for the Pharaoh, you will be finely paid. You will gain a lot of respect from your community. If you are a harp player, you will get so much respect from everyone because you are in the highest class. Being a harp player is one of the most well respected jobs here, in Ancient Egypt. You will also get to see dancers and hear singers performing in front of you while you play your music. And, there will be more musicians where you play. You will get to hear their music. This will be free of charge. Also, music is performed on a daily basis. This means a lot of money for you, since you will be working every day. You will also get to inhale the beautifully sweet scent of your bosses and their guest’s cosmetic cones. But you will not get a cosmetic cone. So do not expect one. You will be let down.
Skills needed:
You must know how to play an instrument already, these are not free lessons. This is a job. You must know how to listen to all of the new music so that you know it. You must be able to play what the guests at the party want to hear. As you know, our music has a strong beat. You can clap along to the rhythm in the background. This will help create a stonger beat. Playing any of the drum-like instruments is also an available option.
Do you have any previous experience?
Previous experience would be perfect for this job because you need to know what you are doing. You can’t just pick up an instrument and know how to play it! You also have to know what people like. Previous experience would provide you with that. If you have any previous experience, you will already know this, but in case you don’t I’ll say it anyway. You will be performing at religious ceremonies, funerals and festivals. If you are at a funeral or religious ceremony, there are rules you must follow. Previous experience would provide you with the knowledge of these rules. Below we have a list of the most popular instruments you can choose to play, and we have photos of some of the instruments.
