Well, this is a scary topic for a lot of people, in particular your undergraduate students. You work your butt off everyday on excerpts and standards and you don't know for sure if this will ever pay off. So what is the alternative? Teach? I am 2.5 semesters away from my music education bachelors. Yeah, I can get a job with it right out of school. (Ithaca College currently has a 100% job placement ratio) But I like to perform. For those of us who do not want to fade away and rot as a music teacher, but instead be an "artist educator" (a term I learned in class last semester) are there opportunities out there for performance? Are there any members of the list who are "music teachers" who still perform in some capacity? Thanks
