Comments on: So, What Can You Do With A Music Degree? http://mustech.net/2009/09/02/so-what-can-you-do-with-a-music-degree *A Symphony of Music Education, and Technology! ~by Dr. J. Pisano Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:35:05 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Christopher Bruce http://mustech.net/2009/09/02/so-what-can-you-do-with-a-music-degree/comment-page-1#comment-4413 Christopher Bruce Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:28:41 +0000 http://mustech.net/?p=1612#comment-4413 This article was extremely informative! There are so many jobs that the general public doesn't think about! Over the years, I have been asked many times what I want to do with a music degree. Out of the people that have asked me, half of them probably thought that getting a music degree was a waste of time with an extremely limited amount of jobs. This is a good resource to come to when someone asks me about the jobs that someone can get with a music degree. <br><br>I am glad that I read this article for I didn't know about half of these fields that you could do with a music degree. Although it may help with my job selection, it will also help make it more complicated. I am a very indecisive person. This article may make my life more frustrating in that respect, but it will be very worth while. This article was extremely informative!

I had only ever considered arts management as a potential future career, but now I feel like I have a better insight into what else I would be qualified to pursure. I am often asked what I want to do with my degree, and sometimes I just have to answer "I really don't know".<br>After reading this list, I feel slightly more confident about graduating and applying for jobs. Not only can I apply for jobs in the arts management field, but I now realize that this is not my only option upon graduating. I had never before considered Naxos or iTunes as legitimate job prospects, along with such options as running music stores and being a music librarian.

Music education is such a great program, but, as with any degree, there are only certain amounts of jobs as school. With that fact in mind, many people have wondered what the backup plan is.<br>This list is a great thing to work off of to get ideas for careers other than teaching k-12 music. there are so many possibilities for careers and/or further studies to investigate. Having options and possibilities is great, and this is a great sounding board to work with.

When we hear a person is a straight music major, we laugh and say, "What are you going to do with that?" But in all actuallity, there are things you can "do with that." <br><br> It is really nice to see a list composed of all types of careers in music. It's nice to see that we have options and can do a lot of different things. Within each degree of music, there are many options and it is good to know we are not restriced to just one thing.

They are musicians, mentors, teachers, business people, administrators, and a million other professions. This article let me sift through all the professions involved in music so that I could see which strengths I have to offer in music. Reading through all of these professions it has helped narrow my graduate school search to a few professions instead of “music.” <br>I think as a future educator it is important to approach teaching from the perspective this article gives. To support music and continue its growth it is important to expose students to the many different venues of professions that music offers. I know when I was in high school I thought you could perform for the Pittsburgh Symphony or teach band. I do feel that a lot of students and parents of students shy away from a career in music because they do not realize the options and avenues of success that can be made through music. This article gives students the run down on their options. Hey Dr. Pisano!
