Career Options: Music
The Music Career wiki developed by the Music Council of Australia provides a wide range of information for anyone involved or interested in music-‐related careers. These sections of the wiki might be of particular interest:
• The Australian Guide to Careers in Music outlining over 150 careers in the music sector
• What do musicians do for a living? A survey of the employment patterns of classical musicians in Australia
• Professional Development: The topics Know Your Business, Manage Your Business and The Musical Marketplace cover everything from touring to legal and copyright issues to distributing your albums.
Career Options With a Music Major The information on this site is written for UK music students and graduates but contains useful information for Australian students and graduates too.
Careers for performing arts graduates Performing arts students find it harder to secure full time employment than most other graduates, new research confirms. So what are the job prospects for Australia's up and coming performers?
