Pro Musicians-What is your average daily schedule?

I teach lessons during the week but they don't start until 2 or 3 pm. I wake up late usually, drink a lot of coffee and watch tv until i have to get ready to either go into the studio to teach or go online and teach. I factor in whether or not i have to make something in finale first, which isn't often.

Tuesdays i look at the band song list for the coming weekend and will download the new charts (between 5 and 10 songs) from dropbox, learn the songs, create synth patches, organize them and mark up charts with what the patch number is etc, go to band rehearsal for 3 hours and find out what will be different from the charts on the gig days.

Friday is either side gig for a jazz trio or quartet, an additional day for a main gig, a pick up gig, or a day off.

Saturday is always a main gig, wake up early ass depending where it is, arrive at venue at 10 am, set up gear till 12-1 pm, catch a nap in my car if it's far, go home of it's close. Suit up for jazz trio around 3-4 for an hour, join main band on stage between 6-10 pm, pack shit up till 11:30, go home.

Do the same thing on Sunday if there's another one.
