How This Millennial Musician-Entrepreneur Built A Thriving Business (And Great Life) Playing Piano On Cruise Ships

Share to twitterSarah Angel is a musical prodigy from a musical family in a lovely corner of Washington State. She has five siblings, all musicians , a violin teacher mother and a mandolin-playing dad. “I knew from a young age that music was going to be the center of my life, professionally as well as personally,” she tells me.

The more Angel flourished at these performing gigs, however, the more conflict arose with her teaching practice. “It became clear to me that I would need to give up teaching, in part to be fair to my students–I couldn’t always be cancelling lessons–and partly to intentionally make a clear division with the past.”

I wanted to learn some things from Angel, and I expect you do too. Like: Do you have the best life on the planet–or my eyes deceiving me somehow? What is a day like on ship? On shore? Is everyone cut out for this work? On the positive side, I’ve found this lifestyle is a great fit for someone like me, but I want to caveat that: it’s important to factor in how much I enjoy music and performing. It makes all of this seem fun and easy, almost like a game. But if you changed the thing I was doing on board, I’d most likely be miserable.Sea days have always been my favorite days; there’s no pressure to get off the ship or do anything.

Obviously if you’re not a people person this job could be a drag. What does help is that as a guest entertainer, I have unique privileges that differentiate me from other people working on the ship. My favorite perk is that I’m not required to wear a name tag in guest areas. This, plus wearing civilian clothes, helps me blend in and avoid being noticed at least some of the time.

ok millennial.
