Music After High School

There are lots of ways to stay involved in music and keep playing your instrument after you finish high school!

• Join a community group! There are always local bands/orchestras in the area who are looking for musicians who simply want to keep playing for fun.
• Join an ensemble at your college or university- without being a music major! It's a common misconception that you have to be a music major in order to participate in your school's ensembles. Participating in ensembles can sometimes include a partial scholarship!
• Be a music major! If you would like to pursue a college degree in music, you will take classes that that will teach you skills to help you become a well rounded musician, such as music theory, private lessons on your instrument, music history and more. In order to be accepted as a music major, there is an audition process that will take place in the fall of your senior year.
