Description:

In this segment of a roundtable discussion held at the College Music Society’s 2008 meeting in Atlanta, GA, the panelists discuss the tension between the artistic aspirations of music students, and the reality that there are relatively few jobs out there playing music which afford a livable wage. They then offers suggestions for nudging students to explore ways to have a career in music which do not depend solely on, for example, landing a major orchestra gig, and to think entrepreneurially about using their talents to make a living.
