Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

A West Liberty University Bachelor of Music (BM) degree in music performance prepares students for a wide variety of opportunities. Many young people view a music performance career as giving concerts.

The glamour of becoming a concert artist attracts many people, but opportunities for a career in music performance are very limited, and great perseverance is required to succeed. In addition to solo performance careers, there are performance opportunities in chamber music, folk, rock, and pop music, as well as free-lance concert and studio opportunities.

Performance careers differ widely and depend upon the instrument played and performance medium. Most performers combine their activities with other careers in music. The BM in performance degree can help prepare students for entry to a graduate program or artist training degree.
