Careers in Music

What does a music student do after graduation? Many different careers in music are available. There are the obvious - performance and education - and the not-so-obvious, such as arts management.

My 17-year-old son is more technical than creative. Although he sings, plays bass guitar, and has learned a little piano, he wasn't considering anything musical for a career. He recently took a career assessment which required him to enter his level of interest in a variety of things. "Piano Technician" was third from the top on the career list that was prepared for him from this assessment. He's probably not going to pursue that but I was still pleased that something musical came up.
