Summer jobs for music majors

By Lisa Taylor


Most of the college students look for a job when the summer arrives. Most of the students generally prefer jobs that can help them to supplement their income. Some students also get a job in the same field they are studying. The summer jobs are mainly for a short period of time.

If you are music major, what is available for you based on your skills at a musician?

One of the opportunities is a summer music camp. These camps generally take musicians as entertainers and counselors. Some people are paid while others are not. Some only offer room and board but you get to practice your skills and you have a place to stay for the summer. The hiring process is quite competitive. You can also emphasize your experience. You also need to tell how you deal with children. You need to do something special to stay in competition.

You can prepare a DVD of your performance. Short clips can also be added to create an impression. Work up your resume and target the tops camps offering summer internships. You will get a good idea of what is acceptable right away.

Frenchwoods summer camp is considered to be a good option. The non-competitive summer music programs is mainly offered for the college students in the US. You don't have to audition before the summer. You audition after you arrive at the camp. Musicians of all levels can join the camp. The camp has a cooperative environment between music campers so they are able to include you in some form of performance right away.

A youth symphony, a concert band, a jazz program and a rock and roll camp are some of the main aspects of the camp.

Besides music there are a lot of other activities for the interns.

Students consider summer music camps as a great opportunity to find employment. Some also offer money as well as room to stay. This is a perfect option for the summer time. You can help others learn and also improve your skills at the same time.
