After graduating from music school, do you want to make a living from music? Or become a company employee?

A college of music is an academic institution that studies music, a branch of culture and the arts.
However, the reality is that ・・・・
The development of one type of performance skill (one voice type) is,
implemented, integrated into the curriculum of the university system.

And after graduating from a music college, many students want to work with "music".
（However, those who feel sick of music will pursue a different career path.)

However, music work is a very red ocean.

Among them, only a few are able to make a living solely from their performance activities.
Becoming a full-time faculty member is also very difficult.
Many graduates juggle a non-music part-time job with a music job.

Under these circumstances, in recent years, about one-third of current students
have found employment in the general business sector.

Even at general universities that are not music schools
because what they learned at university has little or no direct relationship to their work,
Then, it is okay to be a music student!
The reason for this may be that companies have come to think, "Then, why not just have a music student?

So, what is the difference between a musician who gets a general job and a musician who does not?

◆Reasons why music students did not find jobs

①Home wealthy.

Because they are in an environment where they are allowed to not eat from music,
They can live even if they are temporarily out of work.
Some classical musicians receive money from their parents.

However, few talk about it.
(Of course, those who are thick-skinned enough to make a story out of it will have no trouble getting a job.)


②They don't get a job because there is no one around them to get a job.

In relatively competent communities, this phenomenon occurs.
Because people close to them frequently find employment in professional orchestras,
because they think that by persevering they will have a chance to get a job.

Incidentally, there are very few cases of new graduates who start working in orchestras in April.
Generally, they get a job from their student or graduate school days to the age of 30.


③Fear of society.

Through their performance work, they fear and shudder at the "proper feeling of ordinary working people",
They are deified among music students.

However, the members of society that music students come in contact with in their performance work,
(executives of large companies, Rotary clubs, etc.).
(executives of large companies, members of Rotary clubs, etc.)
So, there may be a slight misunderstanding in the opposite sense.


(4) Low awareness.

They acquired instrumental skills through parental coercion,
Some music students do not think about their future, especially because they do not have any idea about their future.
Some music students do not think about their future and live for the day.

Some do not practice on their days off, even when they are students,
They put their instruments in a locker.
They graduate and become freelancers.

However, when they go out into the world and start working as a musician,
Some of them work lively.
You never know what will happen to people. ・・・・

◆Reasons why music students got jobs.


①If you know it's tough to work as a musician but specialize in music where it's easy to get a degree.

Those who are concerned about their public image will make this choice.
In fact, rather than graduating from a low regular university with name value,
In fact, there are cases where a graduate of a music college with a proven track record of employment is more easy to find a job.


②You really study music academically and have aspirations to make use of it in your work.

They get a job at a broadcast station, game company, etc., that is highly relevant to their undergraduate major.
There are many examples of success in finding a job if you can secure a certain technical level.
(It is difficult to reach that level. ・・・・)

3) After entering the school, because their musical skills did not develop as much as they had expected.

Entering a music school is a "gamble".
Even if you have no musical ability at the time of admission,
There are very rare cases in which students who do not have any musical ability at the time of admission turn out to be great musicians when they graduate.

However, if you lose this "gamble," you may find yourself with the option of finding a regular job.
Although these students may have lost the "bet," they are not the only ones who have lost the "bet,
These students tend to work diligently even after employment because they are willing to give their all.



◆Conclusion
How was it?

What can we see from these examples?
It is,

If you live, you can make it.
