For Educators

Music is a rich and varied professional field. There are many diverse career pathways available to students interested in post-secondary programming. However, it can often feel like there are only three available options for those professional career options in music: perform professionally, work as a music teacher, or stop altogether.

 

There is little information, and even fewer resources, to support educators, students, and parents in imagining the diverse possibilities of careers in music.

This is where The Music Pathways Project can help!
