Nomadic musicianship
Abstract
In the present day young musicians who start their professional musical studies have a mission. Their choice for a labour-intensive education that offers few guarantees at obtaining a steady job requires a lot of courage and faith. Both faith in their own potential, as well as in that of music for the world of tomorrow. This article discusses the motivations of music students in higher music education and the changing role of conservatories in a rapidly changing musical field.
