Abstract

Professional preparation is a shared core value among college and university music programs. In the twenty-first century, recent graduates with music degrees engage in highly diverse professional careers, only some of which include traditional performance and teaching jobs. Developing effective, sustainable curricula that successfully prepare students for a rapidly evolving industry is thus an essential, yet complex, task for music pedagogues. These instructors contend with a precarious ecological balance of technical, artistic, academic, and practical objectives in programs that must simultaneously respond to shifting student needs while instilling a lifelong understanding and appreciation for music.
