Choose the Right College Degree
Conservatory or university? Find the music degree that prepares you for the work world
You’re a high-school senior, a great player, and want to be a musician for a living. Now for that prickly question: Where to go to college and what to study? Let’s fast-forward a few years. There is a good chance that as a working musician, you will do more than one activity. You’ll perform concerts (sometimes for money and sometimes not), and play weddings and other casual gigs. You’ll pursue one-off projects, maybe making a recording or organizing presentations at local elementary schools. You might teach in your home studio, a community music school, or at a college as a part-time adjunct.
