15. Careers for music graduates

Our Music graduates have achieved both national and international success as performers, conductors, singers, instrumentalists, composers and researchers and they have occupied the most important offices in the music profession in Australia and internationally.

Many of our graduates have also gone on to pursue careers as concert agents and managers, administrators, music wholesalers and retailers, researchers, accompanists, academics, studio teachers, producers, composers for theatre and film and music critics or reviewers.

Increasingly, our graduates are discovering new pathways to a life in music through our work experience and placement program in third year, which leads them into careers as diverse as instrument repairers and curators of cultural collections.

The research skills developed in the Bachelor of Music may also be applied to music careers in community-based organisations, museums, galleries and cultural foundations. Music teachers are in demand in both government and private schools to teach general classroom music and to organise and teach in instrumental music programs.

Appropriately qualified instrumental teachers have little trouble building a practice, especially those using new technology to assist in aural/theory training and creative music making. Music therapy is also a field in which graduates gain secure employment working with patients/clients in a variety of settings, including special schools, hospitals, nursing homes, community centres and clinics
