A few rays of hope shine in regards to the new realities of the classical music profession. At The Musician’s Way Blog, Gerald Klickstein points out new programs being spearheaded at Indiana University, The Eastman School of Music and the University of South Carolina.
One point that stood out however:
… Hoverman, et al (2010) report that 61% of the music students they surveyed who had access to on-campus entrepreneurship resources and knew that they were available didn’t access them. A finding that matches what I’ve observed during my 30 years in higher education.
As I see it, entrepreneurship and career centers are necessary, but, in and of themselves, aren’t sufficient.
Conservatory cultures also need to evolve such that students can acquire expertise as independent artists via standard curricular activities.
