Working in Music

The ancient Greek teacher and philosopher Plato said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to imagination, and life to everything.” Music is a universal language, rooted in talent and expression as much as it is rooted in chords and notes. This unique art form engages multiple areas of the mind, combining fine motor skills and technical knowledge with personal expression and originality. New methods of creating and consuming music and our unchanging passion for listening to it translate to numerous career options in the evolving world of music — performing, producing, promoting and more.
