Perform, teach and more!<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Performing and teaching are the two most common careers in music. The first path is finding a job in an orchestra or professional ensemble\u2014or in a cast, for Music Theatre majors. The second path is teaching, either in a high school or university, the latter of which actually requires an additional degrees on top of a Bachelor\u2019s in most instances. An excellent combination is playing and teaching simultaneously. A music degree can also lead you to graduate work for a master\u2019s degree in music therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Musicians typically combine multiple jobs with multiple income streams to support themselves and their families, and to experience fulfilling careers. Performance and non-performance work do not have to be mutually exclusive; many fields allow musicians to do both. Some careers require graduate education\u2014such as college-level teaching and conducting\u2014or additional training beyond what you\u2019ll find in an undergraduate program.<\/p>\n<p>A degree in Music can point you toward a variety of opportunities, such as accompanist, adjudicator, arranger, artist management, arts administrator, band director, clinician, choral director, composer, conductor, copyist, educator, historian, librarian, lyricist, music agent, reviewer, musicologist, orchestrator, performer, piano tuner, private instructor, radio producer, sacred music minister and vocal coach.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block expand-collapse align default bg-color-default\">\n  <div class=\"block-wrap\">\n                                        <div class=\"item\">\n            <p id=\"music-course-descriptions\" class=\"expand-collapse-title\">\n              <a href=\"?ecopen=music-course-descriptions#music-course-descriptions\" title=\"Show Details\">\n                <span>Music Course Descriptions<\/span>\n              <\/a>\n            <\/p>\n            <div class=\"expand-collapse-description\">\n              <div class=\"description-wrap cf\">\n                <h4>MUSI 111 Aural Skills I \u2013 1 Credit Hour<\/h4>\n<p>This course develops the fundamental skills in sight reading and ear training as a musician.<\/p>\n<h4>MUSI 112 Aural Skills II \u2013 1 Credit Hour<\/h4>\n<p>This course is a continuation of MUSI 111 with emphasis on more advanced materials and structure.
