Careers

The best locations for jobs are in the more urban areas such as Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. Some of our students have found work in the United States; however, in the larger centers you will be required to join the American Federation of Musicians' Union in order to obtain work. Graduates have found employment as music teachers, studio musicians, and working musicians giving live performances. It is important that you not specialize too much in any one area, as it may limit your chances of finding employment. See Music alumni for some of our former students and what they are doing now.
