Music Education

Potential Careers

Music Education Graduates typically work in various areas of music, including:

• Music Teacher
• Band Director
• Choir Director
• Orchestra Director
• Composer/Arranger
• Performer

These careers can encompass employment at institutions such as schools, orchestras, and publishing houses, and in an entrepreneurial (self-employed/independent) arrangement. Many professional musicians find it beneficial to maintain contacts throughout the music, education, and entertainment industries.

Professional musicians who are active in the regional and national performance scenes, as well as in the international academic field guide students in their study of Music. A low student-to-faculty ratio sets the stage for valuable mentoring relationships. While at the Mount, students will engage in performances in academic, athletic, religious, and community settings. Large ensembles, chamber ensembles, and opportunities for individual performances abound. Many students build experience in Church Music, and all students have the opportunity to serve communities in need. Outreach to retirement homes, underserved communities, and educational venues are a central part of the MSJ Music major experience.
