Music majors are divided into musicology, music performance, composition and composition art theory, drama music and folk music.
Professional composers are mainly engaged in music editing in the field of media, or planning and brokerage in the field of communication, organizing cultural performances, and many people become freelance musicians (or create music studios) with relatively rich remuneration.
Musicology majors, in addition to teaching in colleges and universities, engage in music theory research and postgraduate entrance examination, can also engage in music editing in the media, or engage in planning and brokerage in the field of communication, and organize cultural performances.
Music performance majors are mainly engaged in performance, teaching and research in professional art groups, art colleges and other relevant departments and institutions. Compared with the composition major, their employment is somewhat limited.
It's hard to get into the Conservatory of Music, and it's even harder to find a job after graduating from the Conservatory of Music. It seems so, but as long as you have real talent and practical learning, there are still many opportunities, and opportunities only favor those who are prepared.
Someone summed up the employment direction of music graduates as follows, and I added the last two:
1, direct performance. Most people's idea is to test the group directly, and the dark internal operation is daunting. However, some people can get in, most of them are mixed for a lifetime, and not many can come out. Mixed together, it is purple!
2. Record yourself. The premise is that there is enough financial support at home, and it is a bit difficult to struggle in the record industry on your own! Usually the money is earned by the producers.
3. Do odd jobs in a record company. I can meet many celebrities, but I always do odd jobs for them, and the workload is extremely heavy. It is said that you can only sleep less than 20 hours a week, and you can kill yourself in a few years. But such income is still stable, in a white-collar state!
4. compose music. There are often units that need all kinds of music, and the price of composing music is generally not low. You only need one or two thousand. It's not too difficult to compose music now. As long as you have good equipment and long-term experience, you can have good works. However, the income is unstable. I often can't wait ten days and a half for a job, and I may wait for a series of jobs at the same time, but I am too busy.
5. Floating execution. There is no fixed performance group. I just advertise on a piece of land and treat the performance as a person. It is characterized by unstable level. Today, you may be a hotel wedding band, and tomorrow, you may receive a list of performances from a large theater or orchestra. Generally, such people are super versatile, can sing the subway and hang via, or they will float for life, or they will be powerful! !
6, do music editing and other related work in TV stations. The income is stable, the workload is heavy, there is basically no rest day, and the age is fast, but it is also fast to buy a house. It's hard to say when you can get married. Most people can control it before they are 36.
7. Music teacher. In general employment, as long as there are people, children will be born. As long as there is education where children are born, teachers will never starve to death. But one thing, teachers are under great psychological pressure. They have to study and study every day, and most of them have lost their majors.
8. Private teachers. Self-employment, freedom, no need to prepare lessons, unstable income, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and still hungry. But there will always be a day of old age, without medical insurance and social security, and occasionally a little big change will toss my old books in. I don't know if this is a life.
9. Continue to upgrade-go to graduate school and go abroad.
10. Unemployed after graduation, competing with migrant workers for jobs.
