Reference Materials, Library and Resources
In an ideal world, musicians would always promote their “product”– themselves – in person. However, more often than not, these first impressions are made through inanimate professional materials, such as resumes/curriculum vitas and cover letters. How do you represent yourself best on paper? What makes you unique? The Office of Careers and Professional Development publishes “how to” guides that address the special needs of musicians. We also have many sample materials for your reference and offer individual counseling to help you put that perfect package together.
These handouts, which can also be picked up in the Office, are available here in PDF format:
The Music Performance Résumé Handbook
Reference Library
The Office of Careers and Professional Development maintains a significant library of reference books (see the annotated listing of what we have to offer) covering topics from performance anxiety to foundation grants. In addition, our website is an invaluable resource center, featuring links to a wide variety of internet sites pertaining to all aspects of the music industry.
