I don’t know if were talking voice or instrumental here but here are some ideas:

First Communion services are coming soon in many areas. Can you provide music before the services?

Cocktail hours at any community functions.

Graduation ceremonies including elementary and middle schools, public and private.

Assisted living facilities.

Local restaurants that might want background music.

Lessons for young children with an interest in your chosen field.



My child has done all of the above plus some wedding cocktail hours. Sometimes as community service and other times for pay (sometimes meager and sometimes lucrative). If you want to be a musician and think about earning a living in this field, you’ve got to be willing to get out there - you never know your prospective audience.

One instance of community service was at a memorial and one of the people in attendance approached him after and offered him assistance in the future. Help comes from unexpected places all the time. Get out there!

As for a small amount that you need to earn on your own, there’s babysitting, raking leaves, tutoring… I’ll bet you could make $40 per week if you started today. You might ask at your school’s counseling office - tell them you need to make money so that it will be possible for you to accept this help that’s already been offered. Impress upon them that you’re willing to work to make this happen.
