me manage my time better, but it is not as personal as a phone call. I also use the internet for
finding out what other companies like mine are offering. Once upon a time I would have asked
for a company's brochure or information pack, but nowadays most companies advertise on their
own websites.

I am 12 years old and in my first year at secondary school. My parents have recently bought a
new computer, so they let me have their old one, which is still very good. It has made a big
difference to the way I do things, particularly my school work. It is a quick and easy way to do
my homework. Instead of having to draw pictures I can get them from the art work package on
the computer and just add them to whatever it is I need to illustrate. It also saves mess - no
rubbing out and no cutting things up. My computer also has an internet connection which gives
me access to all sorts of information. I can also use the encyclopaedia and dictionary that are on
the computer. Lastly, my computer has lots of games which I can
play after I have done my
homework.

I love computers. I owned one of the early laptops and today I have both a PC and a laptop. My
life as a freelance musician would be a real struggle without my computers. I have to run myself
like a small business, and I simply wouldn't be able to do that without a computer. You have to
keep in touch with music agents, concert promoters and conductors, and there are lots of letters
to write. I use my computer to send out information about myself each week by e-mail. I can
even send a picture of myself that way too. It saves a lot of money on stationery, stamps and so
on. I also keep all my accounts up-to-date on it and use the internet to research new music. The
other thing I love about having a computer is that being a professional musician can be a solitary
business, because you spend a lot of time on your own at home. My e-mail is like having a friend
in the flat.
