While many graduates have made successful careers as
professional music performers or composers, the majority have
pursued careers as music teachers in elementary and secondary
schools. Those who complete master's degrees have either
advanced in public school careers or have gone on to further
study and careers as teachers in higher education. Music majors
and minors have also found satisfying careers in the music
industry as sales representatives, instrument technicians,
recording technicians, artist representatives, and artist
managers. Churches employ organists and choir directors, many on
a full-time basis. Early childhood teachers and those in
recreation related careers also benefit from expertise in music.
