What kinds of careers in music are possible for students who pursue music studies in the liberal arts context, and what skills and strategies do these careers involve? This course considers music as a calling and career through a variety of approaches to working with music—including but not limited to composing, performing, recording, managing, promoting, researching, teaching, and/or writing about music. The course surveys the hard skills and assets that support the practical sides of this pursuit, from social media presence to crowdfunding to contracts, as well as the soft skills that support a vision and commitment to a lifelong engagement with music, including the ethics of entrepreneurship. Students will engage in individual and collaborative projects to define and develop their musical goals and career paths, working on practical tools such as a résumé, demo, portfolio, grant proposal, or grad school application, as well as the broader benefits of building creative and learning communities for sharing resources, connections, and support in the varied world of music careers.
