Some people are gifted with handling musical instruments. They can play up to 5 musical instruments with perfection and dexterity. For someone like this, what are the career prospects if they want to pursue music professionally?

Is it possible to be playing instruments for pay in a band? Does that have any prospect of giving someone a full source of livelihood?

Or should the person pursue a career as a music producer? Or a career as a music tutor/ instructor?

Which career path would you recommend for someone that is a musician? Which path works very well in your country for a career musician?
