Re: Sad employment figure for PHDs

It is so sad to see that there are so many conservatories, colleges, conservatories, etc where they pump the students out so they can remain an active music department. For example, I was always floored to see all of the schools graduating a ton of Classical saxophone performance majors. Where are these people planning on playing? In a professional sax quartet? playing the wealth of orchestral literature? as a major soloist?

Just yesterday I was at a small local university playing in a band repertoire workshop for music educators. A young university student turned to one of my colleagues and proudly stated that she was a clarinet performance major. My first thought was "and what will she do when she gets out in a few months?" Whenever I have any advanced students who tell me that they wish to go in to performance I try to explain what the options are.

Ed P as always, makes some great points about the topic.
