Music Perfmance As A Career: Music perfmance as a career to many people means giving concerts. The glamour of being a concert artist attracts many people, but it should be realized from the onset that by far the vast majity of persons who succeed in a music career do so in a variety of ways. There are many full-time and part-time career possibilities available to music graduates. OPPORTUNITY FOR EMPLOYMENT: INSTRUMENTALISTS: Armed Fces: Bands, Orchestras Symphony Orchestra Concert Band Dance Band, Nightclub Radio, Television Motion Pictures Small Ensemble: Quartet, Quintet Concert Soloists (very limited) Jazz Ensemble Studio Musician Church Musician VOCALISTS: Church Choir, Soloist Community Chal Groups Radio, Television Shows Motion Pictures Dance Bands, Nightclubs Concert Chal Group Opera Chus Opera Star (very limited) Concert Soloists (very limited) Studio Musician American Idol (very limited) CAREER INFORMATION Studio teaching: Private teachers studio teachers comprise the largest group of music teachers in America today. Small group instruction, particularly class piano, is also done by studio teachers. The music teacher who gives individual instruction does so in the studio, which may be located in the home, a school, a community fine arts center. Those who teach in the home are self-employed, whereas the others usually have a business relationship with a school. Many self-employed music teachers teach part-time to supplement other earnings. The largest field of individual instruction is piano. Very few, if any, qualified teachers of piano are without a sufficient number of pupils students. Teachers of voice and other instruments are in demand in varying degrees. Teaching arrangements can sometimes be made with the various types of schools which are in need of individual music instructs; such arrangements are made individually. Music Teaching in Elementary and Secondary Schools: Many opptunities f service in full-time teaching positions exist in the public and private schools. In the nursery, kindergarten, and elementary schools, the duties of the music teacher may include instruction in vocal and instrumental music, eurythmics, listening, creative and integrated activities. Music in the juni and seni high schools may include general music, appreciation, listening, extracurricular music activities, they and music literature, and the direction of many chal and instrumental ganizations, in addition to small ensembles and the production of musicals. Music educats are employed as teachers, superviss, directs of music and they are employed at local, county, and state levels. In addition, music educats in the public schools find many opptunities f extra remuneration f service in community music, conducting bands, chestras, chuses, church choirs, and ganizing recreational programs. In sht, in many communities, the music department of the public schools is the focal point of the musical life of the community. Music Teaching in Colleges and Other Schools: Full-time college teaching involves continued study, research, concert perfmance, and composition appropriate to the area of specialization. After one has become established on a campus, there is the possibility of tenure attached to some positions. The salaries vary considerably with the type of college and its location. The possibility f positions are open f many kinds of specialists on larger faculties, since every type of musical activity has a specialized program leading to the Bachel s degree. In the smaller colleges, those who can teach me than one aspect of music have a better chance of employment, especially combining private instruction with an academic area such as they, histy, literature, with ensemble direction.

While college faculties in many cases are interested in people who have had successful professional careers success as teachers of music, a college musician must have earned at least a master s degree in music. If the teaching emphasis is primarily in an academic area, a doctate is usually required. Opptunity f Employment: Resources f employment include public schools, parochial schools, colleges, universities, conservaties, private schools, studios, ensembles (instrumental, vocal), churches, and community fine arts centers. It is not unusual f musicians to be engaged in several part-time positions combining varied teaching and perfming responsibilities. Minimum College Training Required: In the public schools, teaching licensure and a Bachel s degree are required. The Master s degree must be earned within ten years of the Bachel s to maintain licensure. In other areas of music, degrees are not always required, but the equivalent training is usually necessary. Other Careers in Music: Many communities throughout the country maintain municipal music associations which use experienced and well-trained staffs. The music industry absbs a large number of people who must be trained in music f the publishing, manufacturing, and selling of the music instruments, accessies, materials, and music used by millions of consumers. In the field of general industry, there is a growing demand f well-trained and experienced musicians to direct the many phases of musical programs. Music librarians are finding me and me opptunities not only in schools and colleges, but also as music specialists in public libraries. Music specialists are needed in radio, television, and motion pictures. Many hospitals and schools f learning disabled and handicapped children have programs which employ music therapists. Tuner-technicians of piano and gan are me effective if their training in music is substantial. Conducting is a fm of perfmance which demands many additional attributes, and while this field is somewhat limited, there are hundreds of amateur and professional chestras, bands, and chuses in need of professional conducts. Salaries: Salaries will vary immensely depending upon the musical skills of the student and ultimately the type of employment engaged.
