"Performing is an experience, for me, that is as humbling as it is energizing."
Here is my comprehensive performance list! It is every concert, masterclass, recital, and show that I perform or attend.
Add your performances and publications to keep them all in one handy place.
Adding tags will help categorize them - I recommend only adding tags as you need them. When I first started this, I made a jillion tags for what I thought I'd use in theory, but it ended up making the whole thing disorganized for awhile.
At first I thought this was a silly addition, but it has been a lifesaver in some cases. Yes, your favorite concerts will be imprinted in your memory so in theory you shouldn't have to log them like this, right? But I have found that having a place to see them all at once, and having notes about each, has strengthened my memories of them. It also makes it easier when searching for CV and Resume items; your favorites tend to be your most successful performances, therefore they are nice to have all the info in one place when you're listing them for business purposes.
I highly recommend tracking ALL the concerts you attend, whether you're in them or not. Part of being a musician is learning from others, finding new inspiration, and tracking growth. You can't "steal like an artist" if you don't have a track record of who to steal from. We are the sum of all the music influences that have been imprinted on our lives, so I think it's important to track them all—whether we were in the spotlight or not.
Click the checkbox for the concerts you were in, and you will be able to view these in the "Performed in" view.
My focus has always been as a performer, but this kind of log is helpful whether you're a teacher, composer, director, or hobbyist too.
Teachers: Log your teaching opportunities, field studies, guest conductor visits, bands you work with, competitions your students win, and anything else that shows a measure of success for where you want to go.
Composers: Log each time a new piece is performed, any competition is won (or lost), commissions you receive, leads for new opportunities, etc. You can also track all the pieces you write in something similar to this; I have a Composition Log which I keep separate from items like on this list. I'm working on a video and template for that, which I'll link back here once it's complete!
Directors: Log your ensemble's performances, evaluations, events you host, events you're invited to participate in, events you apply to perform at that you're rejected to, guest conducting opportunities, clinicians who come and work with your ensemble, etc.
Hobbyists: Log each concert you go to, and use the tags for type; rock, jazz, classical, opera, alternative, rap, country, etc. If you're a lover of music, see how many different types you can curate in a year. Go support a local high school band, dress up one night and go to the opera, and of course you can't miss if Lady Gaga comes to your town!
