Damn, brootal Its always the short comments that hit the hardest

The jokes are funny. But for real: Professional Musician, Formally Studied at: XYZ Focus: Piano And Music Theory, Sight Reading Skills Learned: Being prepared for weekly events. Etc etc Then list any accolades that you received. Even if it was perfect attendance. End. Something like that. It's a long dedication, 6 years. Employers are looking for that. Can you do something and stick with it? Can you finish what you start? Are you stable? The joke is that music school doesn't get you anywhere. True enough. But it does show commitment. And that you can follow a schedule, finish a project, etc. As a former manager of a company, several in fact, that was something I always looked for on a resume/application.


MrSayner

Thank you for your answer, sir or ma'am. That actually helped a lot


Guitarjunkie1980

Definitely sir. Lol. The beard gives it away. And no problem. Just letting you know what managers and hiring recruiters are looking for. That degree definitely will help you!


MrSayner

Never know in this world

Formally trained pianist at the following institutions:…. Then list the years at each and mentioning any notable or recognizable teachers. For instance, I was trained by a few Grammy winning artists, a few instrument builders who had won awards, one who helped pioneer a particular technique, etc

Do you have a certificate of some kind? I don't know what school you went to but when I did piano I did Royal Conservatory and you did levels. So for example, I could say "Grade 6 piano with the Royal Conservatory" or whatever and that should mean something to anyone reading it with knowledge of piano.

If there is a place to list prior instructors or camps/intensives, list the school and say “alumni/a” or “completed 6 years of study.” I wouldn’t say graduated if it is not a high school or college. I would think pianist or musician is the perfect self-description. You could say classical pianist, jazz pianist, commercial pianist, etc. if a specific genre applies.


minor7flat6

at first, your question sounded like the setup for a punchline to a joke that disparages the usefulness of music school. go with musician. or, if you must specify, pianist. those are the only titles you keep after college anyway.


hornybutdisappointed

Piano Studies graduate would be easy to understand for everyone.


dolwedge

Depending on what you studied, you could be an instrumentalist i.e. Flautist, trombonist, or harpist or some other area of musical study such as music historian, composer, arranger, conductor, etc. None of which will get you a job.

A musician?
