1. Rosin Rookie
Everyone's gotta start somewhere, and unfortunately for you, that means it's your job to apply the rosin wax to everyone's bows before the concerts. Show those pro's you can be just as good as them and you'll be on your way to a seat in no time!
Reach Violin level 2
Daily task: practice an instrument
Wages: §20/H
Hours 10am to 5pm
Days: Monday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.

2. Tuner
Well, you certainly have an ear for music, but you're not there yet. But at least now you're trusted to tune instruments. Keep at it, there's a chair in those second violins with your name on it!
Reach Violin level 3
Daily task: Practice an instrument
Wages: §35/H
Hours: 10am to 5pm
Days: Monday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.

3: The Audition Stage - Local Orchestra
This is the hard part, the tough slog. You've proven your ear for music, but it's not that easy to get a spot, but if you're good enough, you'll pass through auditions with no problem and get that exclusive spot in the Second Violin section. Making a name for yourself is of all importance right now. You can do it!
Reach violin level 4
Daily Task: busk with violin
Wages: §30/h (cut down by a tiny bit, I know, but I wanted a bit more realism in that you wouldn't realistically be earning money whilst auditioning, but of course, didn't want it to just be zero, so I figured cutting it down would make it a little more realistic. Plus there's a sizable jump in payment once promoted)
hours: 5pm-9pm
Days: Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday.


4. Second Violins - Local Orchestra
You made it! Now you're allowed to play alongside the professionals! By no means is your musical journey complete, you can do better and there's a long way to go!

Reach violin level 7
Daily task: Perform songs on violin
Wages: §180/H

Reach violin level 8
Daily task: Play violin to 5 people (maybe cut down to 3?)

Hours: 5pm-9pm
Days: Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday.

6. Second violins - Prestigious orchestra
You made it! Now time to really push yourself, can you claim the exclusive position of Concertmaster? You'll have to get to first violins to find out though. Keep playing!

I was going to add second principal violin as well as concertmaster for the local orchestra, but I didn't want the career track to be insanely long. I wanted to have the auditions to make it a bit more realistic, too. I get that I could have gotten rid of the first two stages of the career, since they aren't as realistic, but I wanted a start to the career where you had to build up your skill, first. Though this could be changed and I could maybe at least add the second principal violin seats, or even concertmaster for local orchestra, and make the career 10 positions long? No idea. I should also add I've not played in an orchestra myself, I'm more of an experimental player (and because of issues don't play as often as I used to, or imo, as well as i used to :( ) so I've just used what knowledge I do have to come up with this.



Aand i forgot,toadd promotionn,rewards to.. :/ ahwell..
