Like, if you were to listen to a song and you could hear the violin, but the person isn't actually part of the band/singer. Also how much do they make per year? I've been playing the violin for almost 6 years and I'm only a freshman in highschool and I would like to do that as a job. =)
What is the name of the professional where you play an instrument for a singer?
studio musician. I don't know about the pay, but i imagine it wouldn't be too bad, because of the skill required for the job.
For your information, i doubt you could do it with 6 years of experience and as a high school student. Studio musicians are some of the best musicians you can find, not at performance, but at the technical side of music. Most, actually, make that all of them are exceptional instrumentalists that could easily teach students if they wanted to. Also, pull out your favorite pop song (or whatever genre you listen to, as long as it isn't classical) - All the background, not part of the band (as you say) music being played, the musicians are most likely sight reading it. After all, these people work for the studios, who are not willing to take the time to have each person learn and practice a part before it can be recorded. It needs to come out perfect the first time around. Unless you are an epic genius at the violin and sight reading, i'd recommend studying much longer before trying for the job.
