Re: The Reality of a Music Major??

J-MB,

I hope you find the following article interesting and informative.
https://majoringinmusic.com/should-i-major-in-music/

May I share a personal short story with you...

I live in a rather small town (population 9500) located around 50 miles west of Salt Lake City.

About a month ago, a woman, whom I'm guessing is around 50 yrs old and probably has a degree in Music Education, moved into our little town. To make a long story short, she quickly obtained a position with the local school district as Director of Music for our "string orchestra" which ranges from grade 5 through 12. So, not only does our little town have a wind band, it also has a string orchestra. This, I believe, is rather unusual.

So, yes, I believe it's possible to make a living with a Music Degree. However, IMHO, you really need to hear from the "Pro's" on this BB because I believe their info will be far more accurate than mine.

Good luck!
