Professional and Career Outlook —Many career opportunities are available in music to the student who possesses talent and determination. Among these opportunities the most prevalent are in the music education profession. The Music department of Weber State College enjoys an excellent reputation in the training of school music teachers, and in recent years has been able to place all of its prospective teachers in good positions following graduation. The Department also provides prospective elementary school teachers with a background in music, which will prepare them to teach music in the elementary school. Other students who may not wish to pursue a career in public school music teaching have discovered that good opportunities exist in the field of private instruction in which the teacher gives lessons in his home or studio to students of all ages. In the field of musical performance, job opportunities are limited and competition is severe. There are more opportunities in the field of popular music than in the area of symphonic performance, and it is generally admitted that the field of professional solo recital performance is extremely limited. There are many career opportunities in the music industry in the areas of sales, musical instrument repair, music copying, arranging, recording, musical theatre, music therapy and other related careers. 166 Program: Music Major —Bachelor Degree I.
