I'll take half and half

^^ this..

imagine being able to communicate with & understand anyone with ease, anywhere

u can read any old scripture or hieroglyphic with no translator

and at the same time relate with em thru the emotional language of music..

it's the best of both worlds :myman:

That’s like asking how much do rappers make. The better question is how much does the top 10 interpreters make and start there. It’s easily over 6 figures.

average in DC is 90k. My ex spoke Japanese and Chinese (black chick) she made 70 right out the gate. No telling what she makes now.
Um no. You’d have to ask how much do orchestras and top multi instrumentalists make. And if you’re gonna say top interpreters you have to say top rappers also

if you choose language, you'd also be able then to read and write music, prob would be s hit at playing but you could conduct/compose brilliant works, and even ancient music in the same way.
:heh: I take it you are quite the accomplished composer then?

And musicians don't? :swaggyhuh:

Multi instrumentalists and orchestras make nowhere near close to six figures. And there are no rappers that are good at playing any instruments. Or have mastered any. @TakeItFromME is a bozo and definitely on the spectrum for even using that as an example

The only people who make music that make six figures or more are the Kanyes Drakes Pink Floyds Madonnas etc. But those people aren't masters of any instruments. Even the producers today aren't masters of any instruments. Being a master of an instrument has no say in whether you will make money in the music industry.

So just to be clear since you quoted me, you're saying musicians don't make money? :yeahokrock:

Perfect example of low reading comprehension skills right here folks. Where did I say they don't make money? I said most don't make nowhere near to 6 figures. 90% of musicians, whether they mastered an instrument or not, don't make shyt. Only like 10% actually reach six figures and even then if they are signed to a major label 9 times out of 10 they gotta pay the label back and so much other shyt.

Most interpreters get paid a lot of money

no I don’t.

It’s not a debate of who would make more between rapper, orchestra director or interpreter.

The point was brought up to show the top 10 of most skilled industries clear 6 figures. And being all lingual you’d clearly make at least the top 10 of all interpreters and that’s me downplaying it. The person would probably be the top earner.

Plus the question was mastering an instrument, most rappers if not all don't even know how to play a fukking instrument. even the producers. they sample some shyt an instrumentalist did and make more money than the nikka thats actually playing the fukking instrument.
