Career Perspective

A great many former students succeed in developing careers in the diverse music profession. They form their own chamber music groups, play in orchestras, perform with jazz groups, participate in the broad field of music education: teaching privately or at a music school, or leading workshops, they instigate and organize projects or have their own ensembles or choirs. Every effort is made to prepare students for the practical and business aspects of the music profession, a field which changes all the time.

Students of the Music in Education programme are trained first and foremost to teach music in primary and secondary education, senior secondary vocational education (MBO) and higher professional education (HBO). Many of them will also go on to work as choirmasters, music consultants, general music instructors at music schools, conductors of instrumental ensembles, or to do social work, or work in arts management or as music journalists.
