Thank you this was so helpful! I want to be a music major because I feel like I would regret it later if I didn’t. But I’m also scared of not making it, and everyone keeps telling me how unrealistic it is. You just helped me a lot ❤️
I've trained as a musician throughout my life and went to UNI to pursue a diploma/degree as an Orchestral performer. I left midway through my course to pursue software engineering and ended up being in the industry for 12 - 14 years. I made a 180 degree back to music in 2022 and have been freelancing while studying for a teachers via Trinity College London and achieving all my music theory grades and practical in violin, but I am now thinking I made a mistake to go back and pursue this career path again after doing career research and what the earning potential is in my country which is a low income economy and musicians and tutors aren't really paid well here.
One comment for anyone wanting to pursue a music degree: Music theory is the same everywhere. Therefore, it makes sense to obtain that part of the puzzle wherever it makes the most financial sense- locally, online, self-taught, etc. In the end, it doesn't matter how you came to the knowledge, only that you have it.
I'm currently studying music right now, so i guess i can answer this lol Most music degrees afaik have a mostly classical focus, but include opportunities to participate in Jazz ensembles and other things of the sort. In my school there isn't much for blues or R&B, and the only pop material is actually an acapella club. If studying classical music sounds boring I promise it's much more interesting than it sounds at first, and the knowledge you gain from it can absolutely be applied in all areas of music.
A degree in Music “Performance” with no specified genre usually refers to classical music. Generally jazz degrees are referred to as “Jazz Performance” or “Jazz Studies”. Also, the way she describes her experience in University and the music careers of her friends (playing in professional orchestras, film scores etc.) also leads me to believe she is a classical musician. Hope this helps

Sometimes when you the the effort , you still can’t find a career in music because there is no strong demand in the market.

I just want to learn music history
You can teach elementary with a performance degree? What state is this? Where I’m from you need a degree in music education and a credential
Please any one tell me which university is best in Europe to learn music or get a degree
Awesome video. Quick question what genre of music did you study at Music School? Was it classical, jazz, or R&B / pop?
